section is at the opposite end of the highway, between Highway 539 and Highway 11, carrying an average of 810vehicles per day. History The Sturgeon Falls Road was first assumed by the DHO as Highway 64 on August 25, 1937, shortly after the merger with the DND. The route was long when it was first established, connecting Highway 11 and Highway 17. As Highway 69 did not exist between Parry Sound and Sudbury until the 1950s, there was no need for a second highway connection through the French River area. However, on January 25, 1956 the highway was extended south through Nipissing District, followed on February 8, 1956 with an extension through Sudbury District to the now-completed Highway 69. This brought Highway 64 to its current length. Since then, aside from paving and minor realignments, Highway 64 has remained unchanged apart from the conversion of its junction with Highway 69 from a regular intersection to a freeway interchange. As part of the ongoing expansion of Highway69 to a freeway, an interchange was constructed immediately south of the intersection between the two highways. It was completed on July15, 2016, and opened to traffic shortly thereafter.
