St. Thomas has one of the strangest freeways (sometimes called a Super-two roadbed) in Canada. Single lane, with limited access, overpasses, etc.

The St. Thomas expressway was built along the northern edge of that city beginning in 1974.[46] It features six overpasses and a single interchange, at First Avenue. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on September 7, 1981 to officially open the new route, which bypassed the former Highway 3 alignment along Talbot Street and the short concurrency with Highway 4 (Sunset Drive). The bypass cost C$16.5 million to construct, and features a two-lane roadway with allotted space on the north side for a second two-lane roadway.[31] Plans originally called for the expressway to extend further east to New Sarum and later even as far as Aylmer,[47][48] but these have never materialized.[4]
