Sudbury District - Provincial Highways

Provincial Highways

The Sudbury District is served by Trans-Canada Highways 17, which leads from the community of Walford (Sables-Spanish Rivers) in the west to the community of Warren (Markstay-Warren) in the east, and 69, which enters the district at French River and exits at the southern boundary of Greater Sudbury.

The Ontario government is converting Highway 69 to a freeway. Construction, and renumbering as Highway 400, are expected to be complete by 2017.

Other primary provincial highways in the district are:

• Highway 6, which extends from Highway 17 south to Whitefish Falls, where it enters the Manitoulin District,
• Highway 64, which runs from Highway 69 east and north through the Municipality of French River, and enters the Nipissing District at Mashkinonje Provincial Park,
• Highway 101, which extends from the boundary of Algoma District, west of Chapleau, to the boundary of Cochrane District, just outside of Timmins,
• Highway 129, which runs from Highway 101 to the boundary of Algoma District south of Chapleau,
• Highway 144, which runs from the northwestern city limits of Greater Sudbury north to the boundary of Timiskaming District, just outside of Timmins.

The Sudbury District also has a number of secondary provincial highways, which are the analogue in a district to county or municipal roads in Southern Ontario. They are important connections to the communities they serve, but are not significant routes for through traffic. The secondary highways are:

• Highway 528, connecting the community of Wolseley Bay (French River) to Highway 64,
• Highway 528A, which provides access to the south side of the water body at Wolseley Bay,
• Highway 535, connecting Highway 64 at Noëlville (French River) to Highway 17 at Hagar (St. Charles),
• Highway 553, extending north from the community of Massey (Sables-Spanish Rivers),
• Highway 560, which runs from Highway 144 to the boundary of Timiskaming District, through Shining Tree,
• Highway 560A, which connects Westree to Highway 560,
• Highway 607, which runs from Bigwood (French River) to Highway 64,
• Highway 607A, which provides road access to the French River,
• Highway 637, which runs from Highway 69 to the community of Killarney,
• Highway 661, which connects the community of Gogama to Highway 144.
