I doubt that they're going to do flyovers...but I guess you never really know.

I don't know how many people have taken a look at this yet, but it details what is to be done and is currently being done in Banff.

Purple = twinned non-TCH routes that could be used as an alternate route to the TCH, specifically - BC 17 - alternate route between Vancouver & Victoria - BC 5 - Coquihalla Hwy (arguably this route should be redesignated as TCH 1) - AB 2 - alternate route between Edmonton and Vancouver via Calgary - SK 11 - alternate route between Saskatoon and Winnipeg via Regina Yellow = BC 5/Southern Yellowhead Hwy, could be a candidate for twinning or being added as part of the Trans Canada Hwy British Columbia & Alberta http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...edTCHAB_BC.jpg British Columbia TCH 1: ~ 14% twinned, ~ 34% twinning if rerouted via the Coquihalla Hwy TCH 16: 0% twinned Alberta TCH 1: ~94% twinned (100% once construction is complete) TCH 16: ~85% twinned Saskatchewn & Manitoba http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...edTCHSK_MB.jpg Saskatchewan TCH 1: 100% twinned TCH 16: ~42% twinned Manitoba TCH 1: ~97% twinned TCH 16: 0% twinned Western Canada TCH 1: ~73% twinned (~83% if rerouted via the Coquihalla Hwy) TCH 16: ~30% twinned |
^Yeah, I was thinking that since the tolls have been removed from the Coquihalla, it should be redesignated TCH and used as Highway 1 from Hope to Kamloops.

I think your map for the west may be a little outdated. Saskatchewan is now completely finished #1.
Oh and yes, I agree, #5 in BC should be made into #1. |

I think the one reason the Coquihalla is not marked as the TCH is that the current TCH 1 being declassified could have a percieved negative impact on tourist traffic on certain communities (Cache Creek, etc). It's hard to say as most travellers know the freeway follows Hwy 5 and take the route regardless of the designation. As an alternative, the route could be renumbered but be called the "Trans Canada Highway - Historical Route" with a special highway shield. |

Oh, and nice thoughts on BC #5. |
Oh, and you might want to add this to the map:http://dcnonl.com/article/id29657
Also, phase 4 of the Kicking Horse Canyon project hasn't been approved. Sorry, not trying to nit pick. |

This is also interesting, because it says: This 3.6km upgrade is part of the long-term plan to upgrade the entire TCH through B.C to at least four lanes. Didn't know it existed, but glad to hear it. |
Fort McMurray getting some interchanges..

They're twinning the highway all the way to Fort McMurray, right? They should build a rail line in the same right of way. It would be cheap if they're built at the same time.

It definitely is true that Ontario is way behind the rest of Canada, but that will never change unless Northern Ontario becomes a separate province.
