Trans-Labrador Highway, highway in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
The Trans-Labrador Highway is a long-distance road that cuts through Labrador, connecting communities across the region. It passes through forests, crosses rivers, and runs through expanses of open terrain that define this northern landscape.
The road was developed in stages to connect isolated communities across Labrador. It transformed access to settlements that were once reachable mainly by boat, opening up the region to land travel.
The road covers long distances between settlements and can be challenging in harsh weather. Travelers should expect limited fuel and supply options along the way and plan accordingly.
Sections of the road were only completed in recent decades, making it a relatively new infrastructure project. This history shows in the varying construction quality of different segments visible to those traveling along it.
