The Trans-Labrador Highway (TLH) is a Canadian highway located in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the primary public road in Labrador and one of the few in that part of the province.
The original western/central portion of the TLH is designated as Route 500 and measures 549 km (341 mi) divided as follows:
-Quebec - Labrador boundary to Labrador City/Wabush (23 km, asphalt surface)
-Labrador City/Wabush to Churchill Falls (238 km, asphalt and gravel surface)
-Churchill Falls to Happy Valley – Goose Bay (288 km, asphalt and gravel surface)
Heading Southeast is Route 510, the north portion of the TLH that has been designated Labrador Coastal Drive:
-Lake Melville/Hamilton Inlet/Happy Valley – Goose Bay, to connect Cartwright Junction (87 km south of Cartwright) (250 km, gravel surface).
The remaining portion of Labrador Coastal Drive runs 409 km, divided as follows (Route 530):
-Cartwright to Port Hope Simpson (179 km, gravel and asphalt surface, of which 87 km is paved).
-Port Hope Simpson to Mary's Harbour (58 km, gravel surface).
-Mary's Harbour to Lodge Bay (12 km, gravel surface).
-Lodge Bay to Red Bay (74 km, gravel surface).
-Red Bay to Quebec - Labrador boundary via Blanc Sablon (86 km, asphalt surface).
For almost its entire length, the TLH runs through dense wilderness, with absolutely no roadside services between communities. Travellers attempting to drive the TLH in winter months should plan accordingly as weather and road conditions can be extremely unpredictable.
The TLH/Labrador Coastal Drive connects with Quebec Route 389, which runs 570 km through wilderness north from Baie-Comeau to the Quebec - Labrador boundary.
Generally speaking, the warm months are mid-June through mid-September. Winters are long, there can be a lot of snow, and it can get very cold up there. Snow can happen in mid-September. Sometimes the ice doesn't go out of the lakes until mid June or even late June.
The days are very long during May, June, July. So if you want to cover a lot of distance and yet not miss seeing any of the road, those would be good months to travel up in this region (June 21 is the longest day of the year). By early September the days are noticeably shorter.
The Trans-Labrador Highway is getting some more paving, with the provincial government tendering the final stages of Phase I, from Labrador West to Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The $65.8-million investment will see the highway paved in two contracts completed over two years. One project will see the Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Churchill Falls section paved, while the second project will pave the section of highway from Wabush Junction to Churchill Falls, according to a government news release. Nick McGrath, minister responsible for Labrador Affairs, said the announcement is welcome news for people travelling in Labrador. “Our Northern Strategic Plan continues to improve the health and well-being of all Labradorians through expanding infrastructure, improving the delivery of programs and services, and encouraging economic prosperity,” he said. Phase I of the Trans Labrador Highway project is expected to cost $252 million once completed.
