	British Columbia provincial highway 16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The number '16' was first given to the highway in 1942, and originally, the route that the highway took was more to the north of today's highway, and it was not as long as it is now.
		The 1,347 km-long B.C. segment of Highway 16 begins in the west in the village of Masset, on the northern coast of Graham Island.
		Highway 37 merges onto Highway 16 in Terrace, and the two highways share a common alignment for 91 km northeast to the Kitwanga junction, where Highway 37 diverges north.

		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".
