Expansion of this article

Interesting that this is still a streetname in PG; this article will wind up being expanded to cover the original rebuild of the Cariboo Highway in 1922, which formally began at Yale, where what is now "Old Yale Road" ended (in the old days called the Grand Trunk Road, bits of which survive as Old Yale in Surrey, Abby, and Chilliwack), when a highway was once again punched through the Fraser Canyon after the CPR destroyed the Cariboo Road ("Queen's Highway" formally) in the 1880s. This - sans "Old" - was the name of the Fraser-Thompson route from Yale to Cache Creek until the opening/naming of the Trans-Canada; as there's a modern Cariboo Highway (Cache Creek-PG) this article will have to also be for the history of the older one; of which that stretch in PG is the remaining segment by that name; it may also exist, I wouldn't be surprised, in Clinton, 100 Mile, Williams Lake and Quesnel, here and there in spots.Skookum1 20:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
