Highbury Avenue North (London, Ontario)
Formerly Highway 126, Highbury Avenue was called the Wenige Expressway in the 1960s and 1970s. Originally concieved as a 400-series highway that would be the eastern portion of a London Ring Road, freeway revolt halted the road's upgrades at the Hamilton Road overpass, where it crosses the Thames River on a pair of bridges, and becomes a heavily-traveled urban arterial with traffic lights, similar to the Veterans Memorial Parkway. The road was built as a two-lane freeway in 1963, twinned to four lanes in 1966, and transfered to the City of London in 1991.
