Transportation
Highway 6 passes through the island, crossing from Manitoulin Island via the Little Current Swing Bridge.[1] Built in 1913 as a railway bridge, it has carried road traffic since 1946.
At the other end of the island, a fixed bridge carries the highway to Great La Cloche Island. The only other road on the island, Goat Island Road, is a service road that circles around the west end of the island. Goat Island Road has a cul de sac that ends on the northwest corner of the island, separated by a narrow section of the North Channel from a dirt trail leading off from Highway 6 on Great La Cloche Island. The former Highway 6 crossing was cut off after the roadway was re-aligned to the east end of the island in 1998.[2]
