The biggest and most important highway to Haida is Haida Highway 1, also known as the Trans Haida Highway. The Trans Haida Highway officially began construction in late August of 2020 and has been completed. The highway starts in Masset, using the already existing Haida Highway 1 that went from Masset to the South Point Docks. At this stage in the highway, you must use a boat to get across the Hectate Strait from Haida Gwaii to the mainland. From here the highway makes a left turn towards CaribouLou and continues straight before it heads over and then through a mountain. After this tunnel, it turns left before winding up the mountain and heading back south before turning to the west. Shortly after this, it travels through a mountain pass before ending in Skeena. | The biggest and most important highway to Haida is Haida Highway 1, also known as the Trans Haida Highway.
