TH-801 is tied with TH-802 as the shortest Tertiary Highway in Ontario.
TH-810 is bascially a northern extension of SH-553, and since both SH-553 and TH-810 are both completely gravel-surfaced highways, the change from one to the other is probably imperceptible.
TH-811, while a very minor, gravel-surfaced highway in a remote portion of Northern Ontario, is also the longest of all Tertiary Highways, and is the highest numbered provincially-maintained highway in Ontario.
