MACTIER, ON, Oct. 7 /CNW/ - The Ministry of Transportation is planning to
open a new 26-km section of four-lane highway north of MacTier on October 7,

highway numbering to ensure continuity of the provincial highway network.
The following changes will be made to coincide with the opening of the
new highway:
- The newly constructed four-lane section from the Moon River northerly
to Rankin Lake Road will be numbered as Highway 400;
- The previously opened four-lane section from Rankin Lake Road
northerly to Parry Sound will be dual numbered as Highway 400/69;
- The existing two-lane section of Highway 69 from the Musquash River
northerly to the Moon River will also be dual numbered as Highway
400/69; and
- Existing Highway 69 from north of the Moon River northerly will remain
as Highway 69.
Signs indicating these changes are scheduled to be in place on or about
October 7 to coincide with the opening of the section of highway. To view map
