Municipality of Prince Edward County Looking southeasterly at the southern terminus of Highway 62 at the Highway 33 junction.  As evident in the photo, the Highway 33/62 junction favours continuous movement between Belleville and Picton, which seems to represent the dominant traffic pattern.

Municipality of Prince Edward County Recently erected ends assembly for Highway 62 in Bloomfield.  This signage was erected sometime in 2004, to finally denote the southern terminus of Highway 62.  Notice however, that this signage erroneously shows Prince Edward Road 33 continuing east of Highway 62 instead of indicating it as Highway 33.

City of Belleville Looking south along Highway 62 from the Highway 401 overpass in Belleville.  As evident in the photo, Highway 62 is quite congested in the vicinity of Highway 401.  South of Highway 401 through Belleville, Highway 62 is maintained by the city of Belleville as part of a connecting link agreement.

City of Belleville

Highway 62 looking north from the Highway 401 overpass.  The 62/401 interchange is one of the few remaining cloverleaf interchanges left on Ontario's highways.  62/401 is, however, not the truest of cloverleaf's.  Though not entirely visible in this photo, the ramp from WB 401 to NB 62 actually meets Highway 62 at a 'T'.  Right turns only are permitted at this intersection.  The ramp was presumably modified to accommodate Highway 62's signalized intersection with Cloverleaf Drive.

Township of Madoc

County of Hastings

Highway 62 looking north from just north of Highway 7 at Madoc.  This is a fairly typical looking section of Highway 62 between Madoc and Bancroft.  This stretch of Highway 62 makes for one of Ontario's more boring drives.  Terrain is fairly flat and scenery is pretty mundane.

Municipality of Hastings Highlands

County of Hastings

Highway 62 looking south from Graphite Road (which is a few kilometres south of Maynooth).  Northbound Highway 62 travelers encounter a long hill climb en route from Bancroft to Maynooth.  This hill is known locally as 'Selby Hill'.  Due to this long grade, Highway 62 has a roughly 3 kilometre long northbound truck climbing lane.
