British Columbia provincial highway 99 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1037 words)
	British Columbia provincial highway 99 is the major nouth-south artery through the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
	Highway 99 was re-aligned to the Upper Levels Highway and extended to Britannia Beach one year later, being extended further to Squamish in 1959, and then to Pemberton in 1966.
	The highway has a checkered history; as a single-lane undivided highway with no outside barrier (the highway is built on a steep cliff overlooking Howe Sound), many motorists have lost their lives on it due to inclement weather, poor visibility, or drunk driving (local media at one point started calling it the "Drive-to-Die Highway").
