Ontario Highway 64

King's Highway 64, commonly referred to as Highway 64, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Route description

The southern terminus of Highway 64 is an intersection with Highway 69 in Sudbury District at Rutter. The highway travels east for approximately 26 kilometres (16 mi), where it intersects with Highway 528. At that intersection, Highway 528 continues east, while Highway 64 turns north for four kilometres to Noëlville, where it intersects with Highway 535. Highway 535 continues north, while Highway 64 heads east again for six kilometres to the community of Chartrand Corner.^[3]

The highway continues, alternating in northward and eastward segments around the west arm of Lake Nipissing, crossing into the Nipissing District just north of Mashkinonje Provincial Park, and eventually intersecting with Highway 17 at Verner. It then shares the routing of Highway 17 eastward for 15 kilometres (9.3 mi), to Sturgeon Falls, where it again heads northward for 57 kilometres to its northern terminus, intersecting Highway 11 at Marten River.^[3]

History

The Sturgeon Falls Road was first assumed by the Department of Highways as Highway 63 on August 25, 1937, shortly after the merger with the Department of Northern Development. The route was 53.6 kilometres (33.3 mi) long when it was first established.^[1] On January 25, 1956 the highway was extended south through Nipissing District, followed on February 8, 1956 with an extension through Sudbury District to Highway 69.^[4] Since then, Highway 63 has remained unchanged.^[3]
