Secondary Highway 610, commonly referred to as Highway 610, was a provincially maintained secondary highway in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Route description

Highway 610 connected Highway 101 at Hoyle, east of Timmins, with Highway 67 (now Municipal Road) at Barbers Bay, passing through the village of Connaught.[3]

Highway 610 is now under the jurisdiction of the City of Timmins and is known today as Frederick House Lake Road.[2]

History

Highway 610 was first assumed by the Department of Highways in 1956, along with several dozen other secondary highways. It was likely maintained as a development road prior to that.[4][5] The route remained unchanged from then until April 1, 1997, when it was decommissioned as a provincial highway and transferred to the City of Timmins.[2][6]

The new numbers are the 500 and 600 series and designate hundreds of miles of secondary roads which are wholly maintained by the Highways Department. More than 100 secondary roads will have their own numbers and signs this year. All of these secondary roads were taken into the province's main highways system because they form important connecting links with the King's Highways
