King's Highway 67, commonly referred to as Highway 67, is a provincially maintained highway in the northern portion of the Canadian province of Ontario.
Route description
Highway 67 currently travels from Highway 11 at Porquis Junction to the community of Iroquois Falls, where it connects with the former Highway 577 and Highway 578. The 11-kilometre (7 mi) route is predominantly rural, ending as it enters the urban centre of Iroquois Falls. Aside from that town, the only other community on the route is Porquis Junction.[3] The length of Highway 67 is 9.8 km (6.1 mi).[1]
History
The Timmins – Iroquois Falls Road was first assumed by the Department of Highways on June 30, 1937, shortly after the merger with the Department of Northern Development, at a length of 67.6 kilometres (42.0 mi). At that time, the highway travelled along a portion of what is now Highway 101 west of Timmins. The construction of highway 101 during the mid-1950s resulted in Highway 67 being truncated to a junction between Hoyle and Shillington. The route was also diverted onto the Barbers Bay Cutoff; the old routing was redesignated as Highway 610. Between then and 1997, the highway was 35.5 kilometres (22.1 mi) long.
On January 1, 1998, Highway 67 was shortened by 24.6 kilometres (15.3 mi), leaving only the section between Highway 11 and Iroquois Falls. The section between Highway 101 and Highway 11 is now known as Municipal Road.[3][4]
