Route 370, also known as the Buchans Highway, is a 73-kilometre-long (45 mi) east–west highway in the central portion of

Buchans.[2]

The intersection at the Trans-Canada Highway is very unusual in nature, with a median at the access, and motorists would face a stop signs at the Trans-Canada Highway intersection soon after a stop sign upon returning from their journey on Route 370.

Route description

Route 370 begins at a Y-Intersection between Main Street and Lakeview Avenue in Buchans and heads east to leave the town, passing along the northern shores of

Millertown Junction
Road), an unsigned gravel road. Route 370 enters Badger and crosses over a brook before passing through the town and ending at Route 1. As with most highways in Newfoundland and Labrador, Route 370 is entirely a two-lane highway.

History

For a period of time late in the 20th century, Route 370 was expected to connect with Route 480, the Burgeo highway. The road was under construction by 1980; but unfortunately, for reasons beyond the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador's control, further construction was abandoned.
