Ontario Highway 62 - Route Description

Route Description

Highway 62 begins in the community of Bloomfield at a junction with Highway 33, the Loyalist Parkway. From there it winds north through the communities of Huff's Corners, Crofton, Mountain View and Fenwood Gardens before crossing the Norris Whitney Bridge over the Bay of Quinte into Belleville. Immediately south of Mountain View, the highway skirts the CFB Mountain View military base. Within urbanized Belleville, Highway 62 serves as the primary north–south route. The highway interchanges with Highway 401 at Exit 543 and exits the urban section of Belleville. From here, the highway continues straight north until its path is interrupted by the Moira River, immediately south of Foxboro, which the highway bypasses to the west. The former route of the highway through the town is now known as Ashley Street. The highway continues along the bypass of Foxboro, merging back onto the Madoc Colonization Road at Halloway. It follows this colonization road north to Highway 7 in Madoc, passing through a mixture of farmland and shrubbery; the occasional forest interrupts the shorter vegetation, as well as the community of Crookston. Immediately. North of Madoc, the highway follows the Hastings Colonization Road.
