| King's Highway 5 |
|
| Hwy 5 originally was an alternate route to Hwy 2, running from Hwy 2 near Paris to Hwy 2 at Cliffside, in Metropolitan Toronto. In 1998, all but a tiny 13-km section near Hamilton was downloaded. The remaining section of Hwy 5 today serves as a connection between Highways 8 and 6 across the north end of Hamilton, allowing drivers to bypass Dundas to access the downtown area. |
