Everything about Hanlon Parkway totally explained
The
Hanlon Parkway is a high-capacity at-grade suburban
expressway in the city of
Guelph,
Ontario,
Canada, which connects it with
Highway 401. It runs in a general north-south direction in the city's west end. It is signed as
Highway 6 for its whole length; from Wellington Street to Woodlawn Road, it's multiplexed with
Highway 7. It is 17
km (10.5 miles) long. The speed limit alternates between 70 and 80 km/h (45 and 50 mph), although the flow is generally faster especially in the more rural sections.
Though the road was originally designed as a
freeway, budget limitations precluded the construction of
overpasses; apart from the interchanges with the 401 and with Wellington Street West (Highways
7 and
24), all junctions are
signalized at-grade intersections. There are also two
railway crossings near the northern terminus, though both are for
spur lines. The Hanlon is graded and landscaped similarly to a freeway, with broad flat shoulders and an open median.
The
government of Ontario has plans to build a new Highway 7 freeway bypass joining the current northern terminus of the Hanlon Parkway to the
Conestoga Parkway in
Kitchener; if the project goes ahead, it's likely that the Hanlon will be upgraded to a freeway for its full length.
