King's Highway 62, commonly referred to as Highway 62, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway travels south–north from Highway 33 at Bloomfield in Prince Edward County, through Belleville, Madoc and Bancroft, to Maynooth, where it ends at a junction with Highway 127. Prior to 1997, the route continued north and east of Maynooth through Combermere, Barry's Bay, Killaloe, Round Lake and Bonnechere to Highway 17 in Pembroke. This section of highway was redesignated Hastings Highlands Municipal Road{{nbsp}}62, Renfrew County Road{{nbsp}}62, and Renfrew County Road{{nbsp}}58.
Highway{{nbsp}}62 was designated by the Department of Highways (DHO), predecessor to the modern Ministry of Transportation, in 1937 along the Madoc–Pembroke Road between those two communities. A gap existed along the route between Barry's Bay and Round Lake for several decades pending construction of a new road which never took place. The highway was extended south from Madoc to Highway 14 at Foxboro in 1966. Two years later, Highway 521 was renumbered as part of Highway{{nbsp}}62, and a concurrency established with Highway 60 between Barry's Bay and Killaloe, uniting the discontinuous sections. In the 1980s, it assumed the route of Highway {{nbsp}}14 from Foxboro to Bloomfield, establishing the peak length of the highway at {{convert|294.7|km|abbr=on}}. The northernmost portion of the route was renumbered Highway 148 in 1982.

Highway{{nbsp}}62 begins in the community of Bloomfield at a junction with Highway{{nbsp}}33, the Loyalist Parkway, with which it shares a common terminus at Wellington Street.

Exiting Bloomfield, the highway winds north through several communities in Prince Edward County, including Huffs Corners where the Huff Estates Winery is located, Crofton, Mountain View and Fenwood Gardens before crossing the Norris Whitney Bridge over the Bay of Quinte into Belleville. It skirts the CFD Mountain View military base between Crofton and Mountain View.{{cite map

Within urbanized Belleville, Highway{{nbsp}}62 serves as the primary north–south route. It is maintained under a Connecting Link agreement from the northern end of the Norris Whitney Bridge to the southern end of the Highway 401 interchange. The Connecting Link follows Bay Bridge Road, Dundas Street, Pinnacle Street, and Front Street North.{{Google maps

After crossing over Highway{{nbsp}}401 at the Exit{{nbsp}}543 interchange, Highway{{nbsp}}62 exits the urban portion of Belleville. It travels straight north until its path is interrupted by the Moira River approaching Foxboro; the highway bypasses to the west of that community along the boundary between Belleville and Quite West, meeting the southern terminus of former Highway{{nbsp}}14 at Doucette Road. The former route through Foxboro is known as Ashley Street. Continuing along the bypass, the highway merges onto the Madoc Road at Halloway. Entering the municipality of Centre Hastings approximately {{convert|3|km|1|abbr=on}} north of Halloway, it follows the route of the historic settlement road north to Highway{{nbsp}}7 at Madoc, passing through a mixture of farm fields and grasslands; the occasional forest interrupts the shorter vegetation, as well as the communities of West Huntingdon and Crookston.
Within the village of Madoc, Highway{{nbsp}}62 is maintained under a Connecting Link agreement as it passes through the centre of town. The Connecting Link begins just north of Charles Street and extends to south of Highway{{nbsp}}7.

At Keller Bridge, the highway enters the Canadian Shield, with farmland giving way to thick forests and frequent rock outcroppings for the remainder of its length. The next {{convert|50|km|-1|abbr=on}} of Highway{{nbsp}}62 bypasses the Hastings Colonization Road through the particularly barren townships of Tudor and Cashel and Limerick, with a combined population of under 1,000.{{cite web

Only the communities of Bannockburn and Millbridge break the endless forests.
Entering the larger rural Town of Bancroft, Highway{{nbsp}}{{nbsp}}62 travels through the community of L'Amable and around the lake of the same name. It enters the village of Bancroft, where it is maintained as a Connecting Link as it meanders alongside the York River. The Connecting Link begins south of Bay Lake Road and stretches {{convert|7.7|km|abbr=on}} through the village to Victoria Drive.
Within the centre of the village, Highway{{nbsp}}62 intersects and is briefly concurrent with Highway 28 along Bridge Street, crossing the York River. South of this concurrency, it is known as Mill Street, while north of the concurrency it is known as Hastings Street.
Parting ways with the York River, Highway{{nbsp}}62 enters Hastings Highlands and passes through the communities of York River and Birds Creek, which form a continuous stretch of urban development along with the village of Bancroft. The highway then returns to thick forests, although the occasional farm dots the journey north, mostly surrounding the Hickey Settlement. At the Peterson Colonization Road, the highway makes a sharp curve east and enters Maynooth. It ends at the junction with Highway{{nbsp}}127, with which it shares a terminus. Prior to 1997, Highway{{nbsp}}62 continued east and north along what is now known as Hastings Highlands Municipal Road{{nbsp}}62, Renfrew County Road 62 and Renfrew County Road{{nbsp}}58 via Cobermere, Barry's Bay, Killaloe, Round Lake Centre and Bonnechere to Highway{{nbsp}}17 in Pembroke.
History

Highway{{nbsp}}62 was first assumed by the DHO in 1937. On April{{nbsp}}1 of that year, the DHO merged with the Department of Northern Development.{{cite book

Following the merger, many new trunk roads through central and northern Ontario were designated as provincial highways. One of these was the Madoc–Pembroke Road, which became Highway{{nbsp}}62 on August{{nbsp}}11, 1937.{{cite report

Originally, the route followed the Hastings Colonization Road, which was quickly determined to be too rough to upgrade. A new alignment was constructed to the east between Millbridge and L'Amable in the late 1930s. This bypass was opened to traffic on March{{nbsp}}22, 1939.{{cite report

At the time of its assumption, Highway{{nbsp}}62 was split into two segments. The first section travelled from Madoc to Barry's Bay, the second from Pembroke to the community of Bonnechere, on the northwestern shore of Round Lake. It was originally planned to unite these segments by building a new highway mostly following the route of Paugh Lake Road.Some maps mistakenly show the route as complete between Barry's Bay and Pembroke. The official Ontario road map for 1937–1938 lists a distance of {{convert|50.2|km|abbr=on}} between Barry's Bay and Alice, while the 1940–1941 map divides the highway into two parts.{{cite news

Several changes occurred in the Round Lake area through the 1950s and 1960s. In 1956, Highway{{nbsp}}521 was designated by the DHO between Brudenell and the northern segment of Highway{{nbsp}}62 at Bonnechere Provincial Park.{{cite map

As part of a series of budget cuts initiated by premier Mike Harris under his Common Sense Revolution platform in 1995, numerous highways deemed to no longer be of significance to the provincial network were decommissioned and responsibility for the routes transferred to a lower level of government, a process referred to as downloading. Portions of Highway{{nbsp}}62 were consequently transferred to local jurisdictions in 1997 and 1998.
