The Sudbury District is served by
Trans-Canada Highways
17, which leads from the community of Walford (
Sables-Spanish Rivers) in the west to the community of Warren (
Markstay-Warren) in the east, and
69, which enters the district at French River and exits at the southern boundary of Greater Sudbury. The Ontario government is converting Highway 69 to a
freeway. Virtually the entire route of Highway 69 within the Sudbury District is now four-laned as of December 2021, with the completion of the segment between the French River and
Grundy Lake Provincial Park, while the route narrows back to a two-lane highway in the Parry Sound District until widening back into
Highway 400 at
Carling. The freeway conversion of the remaining route, and its eventual renumbering as an extension of Highway 400, are expected in the future, although no exact date has been confirmed as of 2022 for the completion of the project. Other primary provincial highways in the district are: •
Highway 6, which extends from Highway 17 south to
Whitefish Falls, where it enters the
Manitoulin District, •
Highway 64, which runs from Highway 69 east and north through the Municipality of French River, and enters the
Nipissing District at
Mashkinonje Provincial Park, •
Highway 101, which extends from the boundary of
Algoma District, west of Chapleau, to the boundary of
Cochrane District, just outside
Timmins, •
Highway 129, which runs from Highway 101 to the boundary of Algoma District south of
Chapleau, •
Highway 144, which runs from the northwestern city limits of Greater Sudbury north to the boundary of Timiskaming District, just outside Timmins. The Sudbury District also has a number of secondary provincial highways, which are the analogue in a district to county or municipal roads in Southern Ontario. They are important connections to the communities they serve, but are not significant routes for through traffic. The secondary highways are: •
Highway 528, connecting the community of Wolseley Bay (
French River) to Highway 64, •
Highway 528A, which provides access to the south side of the water body at Wolseley Bay, •
Highway 535, connecting Highway 64 at Noëlville (
French River) to Highway 17 at Hagar (
St. Charles), •
Highway 553, extending north from the community of Massey (
Sables-Spanish Rivers), •
Highway 560, which runs from Highway 144 to the boundary of
Timiskaming District, through
Shining Tree, •
Highway 560A, which connects
Westree to Highway 560, •
Highway 607, which runs from Bigwood (
French River) to Highway 64, •
Highway 607A, which provides road access to the
French River, •
Highway 637, which runs from Highway 69 to the community of
Killarney, •
Highway 661, which connects the community of Gogama to Highway 144. See also
