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."

Photo showing first mudslide on Highway 25, which took place 25 May 1962. Vancouver Sun said, "Earth like a Jelly Bowl". See our files "Chronological" on the main floor. For 3,000 feet Highway 25 slid sideways towards Lakelse Lake, a quarter of a mile away. Trees & power poles, still standing upright, moved for 100 feet at an estimated five miles per hour. The violent upheaval lasted about 15 minutes & when it was over the highway was nowhere to be seen.
