There is some pretty serious flooding ongoing in Eastern Ontario right now.

Three sections of Highway 11 are currently closed to traffic due to culvert wash-outs.

Since when is Highway 11 in Eastern Ontario?

Looks like a lot of undersized culverts and/or not enough of them.

He probably meant Northeastern, but cottage country isn't really in Northeastern Ontario either.

sonysnob · #**1604** Posted **Apr 21, 2013, 12:02 AM**

I did mean northeastern Ontario. The District of Muskoka is managed by MTO's northeastern Region, so that's what I intended to define the area as.

It's sort of a fringe area, where North and South meet. Muskoka and Parry Sound are both in Northern and Southern Ontario. I generally refer to them as Central Ontario.

Yep, it's terrain is distinctly northern, but it is culturally tied to both since it is filled with cottages from toronto.

the flooding was interesting too.

My idea for some sort of Highway 7/Halton-Peel Freeway/Bradford Bypass highway for the Toronto Area:

Not a bad route but I doubt the residents of King City would ever allow a freeway through their region.

^ That was what was more or less envisoned when the GTA West study was first commissed several years ago. I much prefer the idea of a new corridor between Guelph and Toronto to simply widening the 401.

I made a recreation of the 401/403/410 interchange near Toronto in SimCity 4. Hope you like it!

This is a few days old, but have you considered having it swing north of Kitchener and continue to London? It would be great to have an alternative to the increasingly congested 401, and we would finally have our northern ring road.

The 401 in toronto filmed by me in 2010 on the road to Milwaukee.

Maintenenant que vous avez une nouvelle caméra, vous devez aller à l'ouest et filmer cette autoroute encore un fois.

Yes I will !

I'm planning a huge roadtrip in ontario in the future to film the best expressways

Btw I'm sure I could count on you to tell me where are the most exciting expressways & roads in your province when the time will come

Hence, I have two major problems right now :

1) My car is almost scrap, but I'm saving enough money to buy another one soon (somewhere in 2014)

2) My new laptop suckballs for HD & renderings.

So, right now it isnt possible, but I keep my new Sony HDR CX560V for better days

Oh thanks for using a traductor, did you?

FrAnKs · #**1616** Posted **Apr 28, 2013, 11:25 PM**

For those who like Quebec's expressways, I got to found that guy who did some incredible editing !

A15 From St-Adèle (Laurentians) to Montréal.

I will admit that I'm honoured of that video : It's the region where I'm born, grewed up and lived from 1988 to 2011. Memories!
