Read the following passage.
A. Outside cities, roads were rare in Canada until the 20th century, and travellers mostly used waterways, trails and railways. As automobiles spread, drivers wanted paved highways linking cities and provinces. In 1912 the Canadian Highway Association began urging the government to build a road system between the provinces and offered a medal to anyone who could cross the country entirely by car. That same year, the British journalist Thomas Wilby finished a cross-country car journey, but he had to use steamship ferries and rail cars in Northern Ontario, which had no connecting roads, so he could not claim the medal.
B. The Canadian Highway Act of 1919 left road building to the provinces, and the federal government only set road standards and paid a share of the cost. During the Great Depression it gave the provinces over $19 million for highway work to stimulate the economy. The real start came on 10 December 1949, when the government of Louis St-Laurent passed the law later known as the Trans-Canada Highway Act. It set standards and paid half the cost, and for some sections the federal share eventually grew to 90 per cent. The chosen route began in Victoria and ran east to St. John's, with ferries linking the islands.
C. The act set 1956 as the deadline, but talks with the provinces delayed work for years, and Quebec did not officially sign on until 1960. Saskatchewan was the first province to finish its section, in 1957. Between Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa, along Lake Superior, there were no roads at all, and crossing deep muskeg swamps took 25 bridges and tonnes of gravel. In Rogers Pass, avalanches were the problem, and builders answered with snowsheds and controlled slides. Prime Minister John Diefenbaker opened the highway at Rogers Pass on 3 September 1962, although one section in Newfoundland took until 1965.
D. Today the main route runs 7,821 kilometres, and with added routes such as the Yellowhead Highway, which runs from Winnipeg to Haida Gwaii, the network totals about 12,800 kilometres of paved road across 10 provinces. Rogers Pass shows how hard some parts are to keep open. In winter, traffic there can reach 4,000 motor vehicles a day, and more than 130 avalanche paths cross the road. Parks Canada watches the snow, and Canadian Armed Forces gun crews fire from 17 positions along the highway to bring down small, controlled avalanches. The road is closed before each shoot, and it reopens once the fallen snow has been cleared.
