Old Style King's Highway 3 Shield
Eastern Terminus: Pre-1997: At the QEW interchange in Fort Erie.

Discontinuity (since 1998): Highway 3 is now discontinuous in two places. Most notably, all of Highway 3 was downloaded between Highway 77 at Leamington to Highway 4 at Talbotville. Highway 3 is also discontinuous in Port Colborne as the connecting link has been repealed by the MTO. Fortunately in this short discontinuity there are sporadic signs directing through traffic through the community.
Length: Pre-1997: 411.0km. Current: 115.7 km.
Multiplexes: None
Freeway: Highway 3 is a super-2 expressway through St. Thomas
AADT (2002): Highest: 29,100, from Howard Avenue easterly to Highway 401 in Windsor;
Lowest: 2,750, from First Avenue easterly to Centennial Street on the St Thomas Expressway.
Road info: Highway 3 is generally in fairly good condition. The western segment of the route is in excellent condition but is quite congested. The central and longest segment has the most variance in condition but is in for the most part, good or fair shape. The eastern segment is once again all in good condition. The downloaded portion between Leamington and St. Thomas is at times fairly rough, but is for the most part quite lightly traveled.
