British Columbia Highway 2, known locally as the Tupper Highway, is one of the two short connections from
Dawson Creek to the border between B.C. and Alberta at Tupper. In 1953, the section of Highway 2 between Cache Creek and Dawson Creek was given the designation of '97', and the designations of 2 and 97 co-existed until 1962,[2]
when the '2' designation was removed from the Cariboo and John Hart Highways.
