Ontario Highway 536

Secondary Highway 536, commonly referred to as Highway 536, was a provincially maintained secondary highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. This highway connected Highway 17 near Lively with Wellington Street at the Creighton Mine. Highway 536 followed most of what is now Municipal Road 24, north from Greater Sudbury Road 55 (Old Highway 17). The route existed from 1956 until the formation of the Regional Municipality of Sudbury in 1973.

Route description
Highway 536 followed what is now Sudbury Municipal Road 24, travelling north from Highway 17 (now Sudbury Municipal Road 55) near Lively to the mines in Creighton. Highway 536 travelled north from Highway 17, passing through the community of Lively, where it was known as Main Street. As it left Lively, it began making a very gradual curve towards the northeast, passing through Dogpatch and skirting the southern edge of the Creighton Mine. It eventually curved east briefly before making a quick 90 degree curve north into the mining town of Creighton. This curve was located at the modern intersection with Wellington Street, and was replaced with an intersection with Highway 144 upon the completion of the Northwest Bypass in the mid-1980s.

History
The route of Highway 536 was first assumed by the Department of Highways in early 1956, along with several dozen other secondary highways. It remained unchanged until the formation of the Regional Municipality of Sudbury on January 1, 1973. That year, the route was transferred to the region and decommissioned as a provincial highway.
