Highway 638 (Ontario)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 638 is among northern Ontario's most scenic secondary highways. This highway also goes through Ontario's smallest town Leeburn, Ontario. This highway has many sharp curves and, in one section of the highway, people who drive semi trucks have to downshift. The highway measures 54 km in length.
The highway's eastern terminus is at Highway 17/Trans Canada Highway in the town of Bruce Mines. Its western terminus is also at Highway 17 in Echo Bay. This may change in 2008 when the new four-lane bypass section of Highway 17 opens. It is likely that Highway 638 will end at an at-grade intersection with the new highway, approximately two kilometres east of the current intersection. However, it may extend as a replacement designation for highway 17's current alignment.
The road is constructed from low-quality pavement similar to Highway 548.
