The numbered roads in Bruce County account for approximately 660 kilometres (410.1 mi) of roads in the Canadian province of Ontario.[note 1][1] These roads[note 2] include King's Highways that are signed and maintained by the province, as well as county roads under the jurisdiction of the Bruce County Transportation and Environmental Services Department. The third type of existing roadway in the county is locally maintained municipal roads, many of which are concession roads and sidelines; these are beyond the scope of this article.
The 29 numbered routes provide year-round access to the mostly rural municipality. The longest of these roads is Highway 6, which stretches 87.9 kilometres (54.6 mi) across the Bruce Peninsula—a long and narrow strip of land separating Lake Huron from Georgian Bay—between Hepworth and Tobermory. The shortest numbered road is Bruce Road 25, which travels 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) from Highway 21 to the Lake Huron shoreline.[3]
