'Highway 71' is a
provincial highway in the
Canadian province of
Ontario. The highway, 157
kilometres long, extends from a junction with
Highway 17 just east of
Kenora to a junction with
Highway 11 approximately midway between
Barwick and
Emo.
At one time, Highway 71 continued further east, and shared the routing of Highway 11 eastward to
Fort Frances to meet
U.S. Route 71 at the Fort Frances-
International Falls border crossing. When Highway 11 was constructed west of
Atikokan in the 1960s, the Highway 71 designation was changed and fully later removed from this segment, and along the present route had been once signed as ''Highway 70''.
Highway 71 is part of the
Trans-Canada Highway for its entire length.
