Photo showing - NSP Article - Eleven Miles Out. Now almost eleven miles from the end of Haisla Boulevard, the Kitimat-Terrace highway has stretched to within six miles of the Kitimat river bridge. This part of the roadbed is still very much in the making, but several miles of roadway nearer to the Kitimat townsite are at finished grade and surface. Workmen driving over the highway report the finished part "a pleasure to travel."
