Limeridge Road (Hamilton, Ontario)




Limeridge Road is a two-way Upper City (mountain) collector road in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It starts off just West of Garth Street/William McCulloch Park as Limeridge Court and cuts across the Hamilton mountain eastward running parallel with the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway and ends at Mountain Brow Boulevard, South of Mohawk Sports Park in front of Upper King's Forest Park.


Formerly, this road ran continuously and uninterrupted until the completion of the Expressway which saw sections of it cut off and removed at Upper James, Upper Wentworth and Upper Gage to make way for the Expressway's exit ramps.


The Eastern end of Limeridge Road overlooks Buttermilk Falls at King's Forest Park. Albion Falls is two minutes South of this location.[1][2]

A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease.
