Municipal road signage in Greater Sudbury. The sign style shown on the left was posted on regional roads prior to the city's amalgamation in 2001, while the sign style on the right was posted after amalgamation.
This article lists all of the numberedmunicipal roads in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. Municipal roads in Greater Sudbury are generally numbered with odd numbers for east-west routes and even numbers for north-south routes.
The city of Greater Sudbury is the only census division in Northern Ontario that maintains a system of numbered municipal roads. County or municipal road systems otherwise exist only in Southern Ontario; in the rest of the Northern region, provincially maintained secondary highways serve a similar function. Several of the city's municipal roads were also numbered as secondary highways prior to the creation of the current municipal road system in 1973.
Prior to the amalgamation of the current city of Greater Sudbury, the numbered road system was maintained by the Regional Municipality of Sudbury, and the roads were designated as regional, rather than municipal, roads.
An alternate route to MR 55 and Highway 17, also links MR 4 and MR 3 to Highway 17. At the western city limits, the roadway continues as McIntyre Street in Nairn Centre.
Gordon Lake Road (MR 12) ends at Vermilion Lake Road (MR 13) near the Vermilion River bridge and continues south as a private road known as the Lockerby Mine Access Road to MR 3 near Whitefish.[3]
The route formerly followed Clarabelle Mine Rd., which is owned and maintained by Vale Inco. The road was closed to the public in the spring of 2007.[5]
Big Nickel is located on this road; effectively a two-lane freeway as it has no intersections except its termini and the entrance to Dynamic Earth. Listed on new eastbound signage on MR 55 as Big Nickel Road, it was previously known as LaSalle Boulevard in the late 70s and well into the 1980s. On May 7, 2004 the Big Nickel Mine Rd. bridge collapsed on a roadway below known as Lorne Street during the reconstruction of the bridge. No one was hurt in the incident.
Former routing of Highway 144, until opening of the city's Northwest Bypass in 1986. Historic Murray Mine site located on this road. A section of Municipal Road 35 between the eastern intersection of Notre-Dame Street (Municipal Road 21) in Azilda to Highway 144 in Chelmsford is currently a two-lane highway. There are plans to widen that section of highway, although no date has been announced.[6] Construction to widen Municipal Rd. 35 is set to begin in the fall of 2018.[7][needs update]
Former alignment of Highway 17. Surrendered this designation in Walden with the construction of freeway alignment in the early 1980s, and in the old city of Sudbury when the Southeast Bypass was constructed in 1995. Is a dual carriageway for part of its length.
West of Lorraine Avenue, westbound traffic continues at a loop ramp interchange where MR 73, Maley Drive transitions to LaSalle Boulevard while eastbound traffic splits where MR 86 Maley Drive begins near Collège Boréal. Phase 2 construction of Maley Drive will see LaSalle Boulevard as a 4 laned undivided expressway from west of a roundabout at the entrance to Collège Boréal to the interchange with MR 35 Elm Street. Big Nickel Mine Road was previously a western extension of LaSalle Boulevard in the late 70s well into the 1980s.
Turns into MR 71 east of Collège Boréal where westbound LaSalle Boulevard traffic enters at an interchange in a loop ramp and eastbound traffic splits where Maley Drive begins. Maley Drive is a 4 lane divided freeway at the LaSalle Boulevard split interchange to a roundabout with MR 66 and continues as a 4 lane divided expressway to a roundabout with Lansing Avenue.
Route from intersection with MR 55 north to Capreol Road was formerly part of Ontario Highway 69. It was downloaded to the Region in the early 1980s. The Long Lake Road portion (from Four Corners to Dew Drop Road) was once Highway 543.
The ghost town of Milnet can easily be reached by turning onto a sideroad and driving for roughly 1km. Part from Milnet to Sellwood Mine was part of Highway 806, and the rest of the road was part of former Highway 545.
