The
Stewart-Cassiar Highway, also known as the
Dease Lake Highway and the
Stikine Highway as well as the
Terrace–Kitimat Highway from
Kitimat to
Terrace, is the northwesternmost highway in the
Canadian province of
British Columbia. A scenic route through some of the province's most isolated areas, the highway first gained designation as
British Columbia Highway 37 in 1975. At that time, its southern terminus was at the community of
New Hazelton on the
BC Highway 16 (the Yellowhead Highway). In 1979, with the completion of a new bridge, the highway's Yellowhead junction was relocated to a point on
Highway 16 just south of the site of
Kitwanga. Highway 37 was then extended south to Kitimat in 1986, using a stretch of road that was previously designated Highway 25. At the north end, the highway briefly stretches into
Yukon, becoming
Yukon Highway 37.
