British Columbia Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) Photographs - Page 8

Left - Facing south along Hwy 1 & Hwy 97C in Cache Creek, just south of the Hwy 97 Junction. Although Hwy 1 is signed with "East" and "West" directional sign tabs, the highway follows a mostly north-south alignment between Cache Creek and Hope. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - Facing south along Hwy 1 & Hwy 97C, about 1 km west of Cache Creek. The Trans-Canada Highway briefly widens into a four-lane undivided highway for about 6 km south of Cache Creek, before it narrows down once again to a two-lane highway beyond the Hwy 97C turnoff to Ashcroft. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Hwy 1 & Hwy 97 route markers heading northbound from the Hwy 97C Junction. The route marker at right is actually supposed to be a Hwy 97C route marker. The route of Hwy 97C continues north from the highway junction near Ashcroft into Cache Creek, where Hwy 97C connects back to Hwy 97. It is little wonder that there is so much confusion with Hwy 97 route numbers in BC. There are no fewer than five different British Columbia highway routes bearing the Hwy 97 route number (Hwy 97, Hwy 97A, Hwy 97B, Hwy 97C & Hwy 97D). See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Junction assembly on northbound Hwy 97C at the Hwy 1 Junction south of Cache Creek. At the intersection, Hwy 97C turns right and heads north into Cache Creek concurrently with Hwy 1. Despite the "East" and "West" directional tabs, Hwy 1 follows a predominantly north-south alignment in this area. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Right - An abandoned alignment of Hwy 1 is still plainly visible underneath the present-day Hwy 97C. For many years, the Trans-Canada Highway passed through nearby Ashcroft. However, the highway approaches to Ashcroft had extremely steep grades, so a diversion was built to carry Hwy 1 traffic around the town. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

Left - Old guide sign at the Hwy 1 & Hwy 97C Junction, showing the British Columbia highway routes of the Cache Creek area. This guide sign likely dates from the late 1980s or early 1990s, as the route of Hwy 99 between Pemberton and Lillooet is not marked on the map. The Duffey Lake Road was designated as Hwy 99 during the 1990s. See an Enlarged Photo Here.

The Crowsnest Highway (Hwy 3), the South Yellowhead Highway & Coquihalla Highway (Hwy 5) and the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 16) all have non-standard highway markers. See an Enlarged Photo Here.
