The Trans-Canada Highway (French: Route Transcanadienne) is a transcontinental federal-provincial highway system that travels through all ten provinces of Canada between its Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean coasts to the west and east respectively. It is, along with the Trans-Siberian Highway and Australias Highway 1, one of the worlds longest national highways,[citation needed] with the main route spanning 8,030 km (4,990 mi). The system was approved by the Trans-Canada Highway Act of 1949,[3] with construction commencing in 1950.[4] The highway officially opened in 1962, and was completed in 1971. The highway system is recognizable by its distinctive white-on-green maple leaf route markers. Throughout much of Canada, there are at least two routes designated as part of the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH). For example, in the western provinces, both the main Trans-Canada route and the Yellowhead Highway are part of the Trans-Canada system. Although the TCH does not enter any of Canadas three northern territories, the Trans-Canada Highway forms part of Canadas overall National Highway System, providing connections to the Northwest Territories, Yukon and the international border where connections can be made to the United States.[5] In 2012, a series of free public electric vehicle charging stations were installed along the main route of the highway by a private company, Sun Country Highway, permitting electric vehicle travel across the entire length, as demonstrated by the companys president in a publicity trip in a Tesla Roadster. As of 2012 this made it the longest electric vehicle ready highway in the world.[6][7] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Canada_Highway Trans-Canada Highway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Trans-Canada Highway(French: Route Transcanadienne) is a transcontinental federal-provincial highway system that travels through all ten provinces of Canada between its Pacific Ocean and...
