The Longest Road: Along the Trans-Canada Highway

by Bob Weber

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.

An interesting story of how the Trans-Canada highway came to be. I should try and look up the documentary as well, just to see how it measures up to this.
