If N.L. hadn't adopted sequential marking, it could have had 903 somewhere...

780 is currently the highest exit number in BC right now.. although there is nothing between 411 and 780...

No exit for 369km?

Can you provide a google map link to that mile marker? I just want to boggle (and share) a marker with a really high number.

Looking at the directions on Google Maps, Highway 417/Highway 17 has a total length of 2129km. So if for some reason they wanted to twin and make Highway 417 from Quebec to Manitoba, the last exits would be Exits 2100+.

There may be a case to take 417 to Sault Sainte Marie, in which case the last km marker will be in the 900s, beating Highway 401.
For streetview, hmm... check around Denlou, ON. For all I remember, the km marker at the interchange of 17 & 144 says 1520.
Then, somewhere in Worthington Township (between Nairn Centre and Denlou), the km marker says 1495.

No interchanges for 369 km on BC Highway 1 between Pritchard and Golden.

Found the 1528.0km marker.

And 1527km is just a bit further west. It's a bit funny they have the 1/10th km on the signs (though they don't have non-zero markers on the highway that I can tell).

Looks like it's only along that twinned stretch of highway that they put the distance markers on it.

It also looks like the Google Car was visited by Blue Aliens

Sadly that exit isn't numbered, or it would probably be Exit 1530-ish.

I think it should be Exit 623 counted from 417.
Yea, 417 is the only freeway where we count from east to west because back then we didn’t wanna scare Montrealers with something like Exit 2000 by Ottawa Tremblay Station. (Yes, I did the calculation.)

The undivided portion also has km markers.

There's one outside of Coniston that shows 1580.

Here's one between North Bay and Mattawa that's one of the highest I've seen:

It's a bit of a drive to Manitoba

Edit: The highest one is "1732 km" just on the western edge of Mattawa. At least that I've seen.

Funny, I saw 1785 somewhere between Deux Rivières and Rolphton when I was drawing.
But yes, the distance from Ottawa to Kenora is longer than that between Toronto and Halifax, 1955 km for the former (via 17) and 1816 km for the latter.

The MTO has been putting kilometre markers up when the reconstruct highways.

I've noticed them on parts of Highways 17, 11 and 144.

This is an old view, but now that it has been repaved, it is around there.

Not part of the current TCH104 twinning project in Nova Scotia and located 10 km east of the Antigonish By-pass is a new interchange at the Paq'tnkek First Nation. This is a joint development with the Province and includes a Travel Centre. The new overpass was designed for the eventual twinning of this section of TCH104 in mind......east toward the Canso Causeway. The new overpass also opens up for development some Reserve Lands on the southside of the highway were cut off when 104 was built through in the late '60s.

Highway 101 has them from Wawa to just before Matheson. But there aren't any between Matheson and the Quebec border yet.

Yes, highways 11, 17 and 144 have them. Highway 655 has them but they are yellow markers that are away from the road.

The markers in the Northeast were put up but the highway maintenance contractors. It makes it much easier to pinpoint specific locations.

Thanks, Tone.

By the way, who is down for some fantasy?

I mapped out a 4-lane divided freeway route + an EDR along the east shore of Lake Superior.

Edit: Surprisingly, I've been able to retain every single lookout point so far.

There's an interchange just east of Revelstoke which provides access to Mt. Revelstoke NP.

Progress on the 104 in Nova Scotia:

[Dengler Avenue]

Okay, I didn't know that the overpass of James River interchange wasn't wide enough to accommodate 4 lanes. Now I can see why the entire interchange needs rebuilding while we're at it.
8:20 Ouch there are actually cops.
