| 1 | 1950 | - 1950—1970: Construction of the Trans-Canada Highway
Resources at Library and Archives Canada
As early as 1910, there were calls for a national road across Canada. Nearly 40 years later, the Trans-Canada Highway Act (1949) provided millions of dollars in cost-shared funding for provincial governments. It was not until July 30, 1962, however, when the 7,821-kilometre Trans-Canada Highway was formally opened at Rogers Pass. Finished in 1970, the Trans-Canada Highway is the largest national highway in the world.
