Route 1 is part of the Trans-Canada Highway. The TCH stretches 4,860 miles across ten provinces of Canada from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Ocean. On the island of Newfoundland, the road begins at Channel-Port aux Basques (southwest corner) and travels for 562 miles before ending at St. John’s (eastern tip). This capital city for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador claims to be Mile One for the transcontinental highway.
