The Trans-Canada, the world’s longest national highway, comes to
life in words and pictures. Russia has the Trans-Siberian Highway,
Australia has Highway 1, and Canada has the Trans-Canada Highway,
an iconic road that stretches almost 8,000 kilometres across six
time zones. In the summer of 2012, on the highway’s 50th
birthday, Mark Richardson drove its entire length to find out how
the road came to be and what it’s now become. In his daily
account of the 10-week road trip, originally published as a blog on
macleans.ca, he follows the original "pathfinders" Thomas Wilby and
Jack Haney, who tried to drive across the country before there were
enough roads, he discovers the diverse places along the highway
that contribute to the country’s character, and he meets the
people who make the Trans-Canada what it is today – the road that
connects a nation.
