History
Highway 529 is a former alignment of Highway 69. The route was established on May 9, 1956 when the Department of Highways (DHO), predecessor to the modern Ministry of Transportation (MTO), assumed control of the Bayfield Road.[2][3][4] This original section was renumbered in 1961 as Highway 529A. A new bypass of the original route of Highway 69 between Pointe-au-Baril and the Magnetewan River was opened that year, and consequently the old alignment was renumbered as Highway 529.[7][8]
In the freeway conversion plans for Highway 69 through the Pointe au Baril area, a new bypass will be built and Highway 529 will assume the current route of Highway 69 through the community, extending the length of the highway by approximately four kilometres to a new interchange with what will become Highway 400.[9]

Two new Ontario road numbers appear on the province's 1956 official road map which will be ready for distribution next week. The new numbers are the 500 and 600 series and designate hundreds of miles of secondary roads which are wholly maintained by the Highways Department. More than 100 secondary roads will have their own numbers and signs this year. All of these secondary roads were taken into the province's main highways system because they form important connecting links with the King's Highways
