Canada’s entire road system includes more than 1,400,000 kilometres (870,000 miles) of roads. The Trans-Canada Highway, which runs 7,821 km from St. John’s to Victoria, is one of the world’s longest highways, along with the Trans-Siberian Highway and Australia’s Highway
1. When the road opened at BC’s Rogers Pass on July 30, 1962, more than 3,000 km of it remained unpaved. Eventually completed in 1970, the Trans-Canada cost a total of $1 billion dollars to build.
