Highway 626 (Ontario)

Highway 626 was a former alignment of Highway 11 in Northern Ontario. The road starts in Porquis Junction at Highway 67, and heads south, roughly a kilometre away from the main road, paralleling it for its entire length.

It travels through the towns of Monteith, Val Gagné and Matheson, where it ends at Highway 101. The road used to continue south all the way to Highway 66 near Kirkland Lake, Ontario, but some of the pavement has since been removed, leaving only short dead-end streets off other roads. Highway 572 currently uses a tiny portion of Highway 626's alignment.

The road was turned back sometime before 1992.

Another unrelated Highway 626 existed in northwestern Ontario. This Highway 626 ran from Highway 17 south to the town of Marathon. The road leading to Marathon was designated Highway 626 after the first Highway 626 was deleted. The highway was downloaded in 1998 and is known today as Peninsula Road.
