It was built along a former Canadian Pacific Railway right-of-way, and has two westbound passing lanes in separate parts, and one eastbound passing lane. Route descriptionAlthough it is not an official part of the Trans-Canada Highway, Highway 17A is designated as the through route when travelling into Kenora on the Trans-Canada. The road also provides access to Kenora Airport, but otherwise avoids the built up areas of the city.[1] The highway passes through a heavily forested area dominated by large granite rock outcroppings, geography typical of the Canadian Shield.[2] On an average day approximately 3,200–5,200 vehicles travel along the road, varying by season.[3] HistoryConstruction of Highway 17A began in 1981 in response to traffic congestion within the city of Kenora, which created a severe bottleneck for cross-national traffic. The bypass opened in stages as it was constructed from west to east.[4] The first {{convert|8.4|km}}, from Highway 17 to Highway 596 opened in September 1983. Following this, contracts were tendered for construction of the Winnipeg River bridge.[5] The section between Highway 596 and Highway 658 opened several years later in the autumn of 1988.[4] The final section, linking Highway 658 with Highway 17, was opened in 1991.[6] {{clear}}Major intersections{{ONinttop|maint=MTO|division=Kenora|division_ref=[1]|length_ref=[7]}}{{ONint| location_special = Kenora | lspan = 8 | km = 0.0 | road = {{jct|province=ON|Hwy|17|TCH|dir=west|location1=Winnipeg}} | notes = }}{{ONint | km = 1.2 | road = {{jcon|Hwy|641|town=Laclu}} | notes = CPR overpass }}{{ONint | km = 7.1 | road = {{jcon|Hwy|596|town=Minaki|Darlington Drive}} | notes = }}{{ONint | km = 12.6 | bridge = Winnipeg River Bridge }}{{ONint | km = 14.9 | road = {{jcon|Hwy|658|Redditt Road|town=Redditt}} | notes = }}{{ONint | km = 21.1 | road = East Melick Road | notes = Formerly Highway 659 }}{{ONint | km = 25.5 | road = {{jcon|Hwy|671|Jones Road|town=Jones}} | notes = }}{{ONint | km = 33.5 | road = {{jct|province=ON|Hwy|17|TCH|dir=east|city1=Dryden|city2=Thunder Bay}} | notes = }}{{jctbtm}} References1. ^1 {{cite map | title = Ontario Back Road Atlas | author = Mapart | publisher = Peter Heiler Ltd | year = 2010 | page = 106 | section = G3 | isbn = 978-1-55198-226-7}} 2. ^{{cite web | title = Farming on the Canadian Shield | publisher = Lake of the Woods Museum | url = http://www.kenora.ca/museum/history/industry/industry.aspx?id=5571 | accessdate = September 9, 2011}} 3. ^1 {{cite web | title = Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts | author = Ministry of Transportation of Ontario | publisher = Government of Ontario | year = 2007 | url = http://www.raqsb.mto.gov.on.ca/techpubs/TrafficVolumes.nsf/tvweb?OpenForm&Seq=5 | accessdate = August 29, 2011}} 4. ^1 {{cite report | title = Northern Transportation Construction Projects 1989–90 | author = Ministry of Northern Development and Mines | publisher = Transportation Capital Branch, Ministry of Transportation of Ontario | date = May 1989 | page = 6 | issn = 0822-1480}} 5. ^{{cite report | title = Northern Transportation Construction Projects 1988–89 | author = Ministry of Northern Development and Mines | publisher = Transportation Capital Branch, Ministry of Transportation of Ontario | date = April 1988 | page = VII | issn = 0822-1480}} 6. ^{{cite report | title = Northern Transportation Construction Projects 1991–92 | author = Ministry of Northern Development and Mines | publisher = Transportation Capital Branch, Ministry of Transportation of Ontario | date = May 1991 | page = 6 | issn = 0822-1480}} 7. ^{{Cite web | title = Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts | author = Ministry of Transportation of Ontario | year = 2008 | url = http://www.raqsb.mto.gov.on.ca/techpubs/TrafficVolumes.nsf/tvweb?OpenForm&Seq=5 | accessdate = February 12, 2012}} External links
