Trans-Labrador Highway - Closed
For those planning on doing the TransLabrador highway this summer https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/labrador-washout-1.5187265?fbclid=IwAR0g0ZcIIgALN4SSTEtUYxO74oKuFiOQS8d7RFiRqo...

I had the "pleasure" of taking the Trans-Labrador highway last summer. We went up to Goose Bay via Quebec highway 389 and then down the Trans-Labrador to Newfoundland.
If I were to do it over again, I would have retraced my steps and come back over highway 389. Taking the longer route to the eastern provinces and Newfoundland would have added two or three extra days of travel, but it would have spared us the pounding my fifth-wheel and truck had to take over the Trans-Labrador. (I had to have both fiver and truck repaired at St. Johns, Newfoundland.)
Highway 389 was unpaved for most of the way, but it was smooth compared to the Trans-Labrador. In Labrador, the road between Labrador City and Goose Bay was well-paved and smooth.
