The Pike Creek Bypass is the part of Essex County Road 22 that stretches from Manning Road (County Road 19) east to its terminus in Puce, Ontario with Tecumseh Road (County Road 2). The road continues west past Manning Road as an extension of E.C. Row Expressway, eventually becoming that road.

History

The Bypass was constructed in 1961 to alleviate traffic along the former Highway 39 alignment (now Tecumseh Road/County Road 2). It was opened to traffic, and bypassed the town of St. Clair Beach, Ontario.

In 1970, Highway 2 was re-aligned along its path, eliminating Highway 39 from the system. Highway 2 would be decommissioned in 1998, however, and redesignated as Essex County Road 22.

Aside from a brief segment east from Manning Road for about 1 km, the road is entirely 2-lanes and without store and house accesses (it was built as a two-lane expressway, and only has access at intersections, with no adjacent properties or driveways.

Due to the huge housing boom in western Lakeshore, the road has become extremely congested, and many people have desired the road be widened to four lanes, or even a divided highway or freeway, but due to the narrow right of way, the road is being widened to four lanes as a new Super-Arterial road or even a Super 4, with the possibility of an interchange at Manning Road.
