Ontario Highway 522

Secondary Highway 522, commonly referred to as Highway 522, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway is 109.6 kilometres (68.1 mi) in length, connecting Highway 69 near Cranberry with Highway 11 in Powassan. Highway 522 serves as the only link between these two routes south of Highway 17 and north of Highway 124. It is often used to access Grundy Lake Provincial Park, a popular camping area for northbound travellers.

History

In 2004, Highway 11 was re-routed along a recently completed freeway bypass around the community of Trout Creek. Highway 522 was then extended by 3 km along Hemlock Road (the former alignment of Highway 11), terminating at Highway 11's Exit 301 (interchange with Highway 522 and McFadden Lane). The remainder of Highway 11's alignment in Trout Creek was retained in the provincial system as the designation of Highway 522B, the province's newest numbered highway designation.
