What is the oldest highway in Canada?
Trans-Canada Highway
Highway11/Highway17 proceeds southeast for 65km (40mi) to Thunder Bay, then northeast for 115km (71mi) to Nipigon.[8] An 83-kilometre (52mi) segment of the Trans-Canada Highway between Thunder Bay and Nipigon is commemorated as the Terry Fox Courage Highway.[8] Fox was forced to abandon his cross-country Marathon of Hope run here, and a bronze statue of him was later erected in his honour. The highway is the only road that connects eastern and western Canada. On January 10, 2016, the Nipigon River Bridge suffered a mechanical failure, closing the Trans-Canada Highway briefly and forcing travellers to go around Lake Superior.[9]
