The Harbour Expressway is a four lane highway with signalized intersections running the Intercity business district of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
Thunder Bay City Council has looked at renaming the road as it doesn't fit the general definition of an expressway, but has decided that it would be unnecessary.[1]
[edit] Route description
The entire route of the Harbour Expressway is four lanes and undivided. Its intersections are all at-grade. Plans to divide the expressway and build interchanges are on hold, and the city of Thunder Bay maintains a right of way for these expansion plans in its official plan. In some places there is evidence of these plans.
The highway bi-sects the Intercity area which is primarily composed of big box retail stores and office parks. The road is one of the busiest in Thunder Bay.
