At the time, back in 1953, the BC government extended the 4-lane Island Highway (#19) north from Nanaimo up to Campbell River , providing high-speed highway connections between the island’s major population (and commercial/tourist) centres. When the highway route was selected in the post-World War II era, it the federal funding for it was focused on connecting major population centres and provincial capital cities (see Highway History). 0 depth equal to half the diameter of the culvert. − Suite 3000, 421 – 7th Avenue SW, Immediately after crossing a bridge over the Nanaimo River, there is an interchange with Nanaimo River Road. ) N maintenance contractor may result in an improved or deeper ditch.

In 1986, Highway 1 between Chilliwack and Hope was improved to a freeway. 160 Using the force balance equation for tractive effort, a value for grade can be separating, producing the formula below: G
