It's the longest road in the world - an asphalt strip that stretches through cities, towns and isolated farms, and that binds mountains, prairies and rugged bush between two coasts. It's been
barely two generations since the Trans-Canada Highway's last stretch of blacktop was laid in the Rogers Pass, but that's been plenty of time for it to leave a permanent right-of-way in the
national imagination.
Everybody loves a road story, and the Trans-Canada Highway is the world's biggest stage for one. The Longest Road hops in the driver's seat, wind up the engine and heads out to tell it.
