From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 33 is a provincially maintained highway in southeastern Ontario, Canada. It currently runs from Highway 62 in Bloomfield (Prince Edward County) to the Collins Bay Road junction at Collins Bay in the City of Kingston, a distance of 68.4 km. The highway continues further east into the city as Bath Road (Kingston Road 33), a main thoroughfare in Kingston.
Originally, Highway 33 ran from Stirling along the Trent River through Trenton into Kingston. The route from Trenton eastward followed the Lake Ontario shoreline.
The section of Highway 33 between Amherstview and Trenton was designated the Loyalist Parkway in 1984. This designation was made to honour the United Empire Loyalists, who first settled this area of Ontario, and the official designation was presided over by Queen Elizabeth II, when she visited Kingston during Ontario's bicentennial celebrations. Highway 33 now ends at Bloomfield, and the Loyalist Parkway continues as Prince Edward County Road 33 toward Stirling.
Highway 33 has two sections, which are joined by the Glenora Ferry, an auto ferry crossing the Bay of Quinte from Glenora, Ontario to Adolphustown, Ontario. The drive along the section between Kingston and Glenora provides scenic views of Lake Ontario.
