  British Columbia provincial highway 19 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British Columbia provincial highway 19, known locally as the Island Highway, is the main north-south thoroughfare on Vancouver Island north of Nanaimo.
The highway then winds its way past Nimpkish Lake, then through a 163 km long stretch of dense forest terrain, through the community of Woss and a junction with Sayward, finally entering the city of Campbell River at a junction with highways 28 and 19A, just past the river that the city is named for.
The entire stretch of Highway 19 between Campbell River and the city of Parksville is a divided four-lane freeway or expressway (alternates), with a nominal speed limit of 110 km/h, and is referred to as the "Inland Island Highway".
