About: Crowsnest Highway

An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Crowsnest Highway is an east-west highway in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada. It stretches 1,161 km (721 mi) across the southern portions of both provinces, from Hope, British Columbia to Medicine Hat, Alberta, providing the shortest highway connection between the Lower Mainland and southeast Alberta through the Canadian Rockies. Mostly two-lane, the highway was officially designated in 1932, mainly following a mid-19th-century gold rush trail originally traced out by an engineer named Edgar Dewdney. It takes its name from the Crowsnest Pass, the location at which the highway crosses the Continental Divide between British Columbia and Alberta.

  • The Crowsnest Highway is an east-west highway in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada. It stretches 1,161 km (721 mi) across the southern portions of both provinces, from Hope, British Columbia to Medicine Hat, Alberta, providing the shortest highway connection between the Lower Mainland and southeast Alberta through the Canadian Rockies. Mostly two-lane, the highway was officially designated in 1932, mainly following a mid-19th-century gold rush trail originally traced out by an engineer named Edgar Dewdney. It takes its name from the Crowsnest Pass, the location at which the highway crosses the Continental Divide between British Columbia and Alberta. In British Columbia, the highway is entirely in mountainous regions and is also known as the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway. The first segment between the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 5A is locally known as the Hope-Princeton Highway, and passes by the site of the Hope Slide. In Alberta, the terrain is initially mountainous, before smoothing to foothills and eventually generally flat prairie in the vicinity of Pincher Creek. The highway forms part of the Red Coat Trail and the CANAMEX Corridor from Highway 2 near Fort Macleod to Highway 4 in Lethbridge. (en)
  • La route Crowsnest (Crowsnest Highway en anglais) est une route s'étendant d'ouest en est en Colombie-Britannique et en Alberta au Canada sur 1 161 km dans le Sud des deux provinces à partir de Hope jusqu'à Medicine Hat en traversant les Rocheuses canadiennes. Il s'agit du lien routier le plus court entre les Basses-terres continentales en Colombie-Britannique et le Sud-Est de l'Alberta. Elle suit grossièrement le chemin tracé lors de la ruée vers l'or par l'ingénieur Edgar Dewdney au milieu du XIXe siècle. Elle tire son nom du col Crowsnest (« nid de corbeau » en anglais) qui correspond à l'endroit où la route traverse la ligne continentale de partage des eaux entre la Colombie-Britannique et l'Alberta. En Colombie-Britannique, la route Crowsnest se situe entièrement en région montagneuse et elle est également connue sous le nom de Southern Trans-Provincial Highway. En Alberta, elle se situe en région montagneuse dans l'Ouest, mais elle passe graduellement aux prairies en se dirigeant vers l'est. Elle fait partie de la Red Coat Trail et du (en) entre l' (en) près de Fort Macleod et la (en) à Lethbridge. (fr)
