From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 664 is a relatively short Secondary Highway with a fairly colourful past. It began as a part of Highway 72 in 1934, linking the remote community of Hudson to the rest of the provincial highway network. In 1954, the road was renumbered as Kings Highway 116, but may have been briefly designated as "Highway 72A" in 1954 before becoming Highway 116. By 1975, the Ministry of Transportation had decided to demote three very lightly-travelled Kings Highways in Northwestern Ontario to Secondary Highway status. Those roadways were Highway 116 (which became Highway 664), Highway 119 (which became Highway 665), and Highway 128 (which became the infamous Highway 666, and was renumbered as Highway 658 in 1985.)
The road today is a typical secondary highway: lightly travelled, connecting a town to a main Kings Highway (Highway 72), and has slightly narrower and coarser pavement than Kings Highways.
