Newfoundland and Labrador Route 75
Route 75, also known as Veterans Memorial Highway, is a two-lane expressway on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland.[1] The route begins at a trumpet interchange with Route 1 and continues north, bypassing communities along the western shore of Conception Bay until it ends at a junction with Route 70 south of Carbonear.[2] Construction of the highway was completed in 2002.[3] The entire route of Route 75 is a two-lane Freeway, with interchanges at all but the northernmost intersections, with those still having controlled access.[4] Route descriptionRoute 75 begins at an interchange with Route 1 (Trans Canada Highway, Exit 31) in Roaches Line.
