Highway 8 was first numbered in 1953, and very little about the highway has changed since that year. Highway 8 follows the Nicola River for {{conv|69|km|mi|abbr=on}} between Spences Bridge, on Highway 1, to Merritt on Highway 5. HistoryHighway 8 is part of the first automobile route built to connect the Lower Mainland to the Alberta border.[1] Named the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway, it ran from Vancouver to Crowsnest Pass and was later designated as Route A; the route followed Kingsway and Yale Road from Vancouver to Hope, then turned north to Spences Bridge.[2] The route then turned southeast and passed through Merritt and Princeton along present-day Highway 8 and Highway 5A before travelling east along present-day Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3) towards Osoyoos, the Kootenays, and the Alberta border.[3] In 1941, British Columbia transitioned from lettered to numbered highways, with the Lower Mainland section of Route A becoming Highway 1 and the remainder becoming Highway 3. After the end of World War II, the provincial government began to upgrade its highway system and constructed new sections of its highways. On November 2, 1949, the Hope-Princeton Highway through Allison Pass and Sunday Summit was opened,[4] reducing the driving distance{{where|date=November 2018}} from approximately {{cvt|300|km|round=5}} to {{cvt|135|km|round=5}}. When the Okanagan Connector was constructed between Merritt and Kelowna,{{when|date=November 2018}} initial proposals had it designated as Highway 8; however, communities on the route preferred it designated as an auxiliary route of Highway 97 and was designated as Highway 97C.[5] Major intersectionsFor west to east. The entire route is in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. {{BCinttop|nosub1=yes|length_ref=[6]}}{{BCint|location=Spences Bridge |km=0.00 |road={{jct|state=BC|TCH|1|city1=Hope|city2=Vancouver|city3=Cache Creek}} |notes=Hwy 8 western terminus }}{{BCint |location=Lower Nicola |km=60.31 |type=concur |road={{jct|state=BC|Hwy|97C|dir1=north|city1=Logan Lake|city2=Ashcroft}} |notes=West end of Hwy 97C concurrency }}{{BCint |location=Merritt |lspan=2 |km=65.17 |road=Voght Street |notes=Former {{jct|state=BC|Hwy|5A|dir1=north|noshield1=yes}}; former west end of Hwy 5A concurrency }}{{BCint |km=69.32 |mspan= |type=concur |road={{jct|state=BC|Hwy|5|name1=Coquihalla Highway|Hwy|5A|to2=yes|dir2=north|city1=Kamloops|city2=Hope|city3=Vancouver}} {{jct|state=BC|Hwy|5A|Hwy|97C|dir1=south|dir2=east|city1=Princeton|city2=Kelowna}} |notes=Coldwater interchange (Hwy 5 exit 286) Hwy 8 eastern terminus }}{{Jctbtm|keys=concur}} References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Schlingloff|first1=Jeff|title=Route Historical Timeline|url=http://www.vcn.bc.ca/~avt/Timeline.htm|website=Trail - Road - Rail construction timeline|accessdate=October 2, 2017|date=2006}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=The Trans-Provincial Highway|url=https://oppositethecity.wordpress.com/2015/11/26/the-trans-provincial-highway/|website=Opposite the City|accessdate=October 2, 2017|date=November 26, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite map|author1 = Rand McNally and Company |year = 1939 |title = State Farm Road Atlas: United States, Canada, Mexico | map = Western and Central Canada |scale = |location = Chicago, IL |publisher = State Farm Insurance Companies Travel Bureau |pages = 94-95 |isbn = |edition = |url = https://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/workspace/handleMediaPlayer;JSESSIONID=7a582218-e106-4337-bada-63f5bede133f?lunaMediaId=RUMSEY~8~1~258685~5522128|via=David Rumsey Historical Map Collection}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Opening of the Hope-Princeton Highway, November 2, 1949|url=http://search-bcarchives.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/opening-of-hope-princeton-highway-november-2-1949|website=RBCM Archives|publisher=Royal BC Museum|accessdate=October 2, 2017|language=en}} 5. ^{{cite web |title=The Story of the Highway 97 Alphabet |url=https://www.tranbc.ca/2018/06/29/the-story-of-the-highway-97-alphabet/ |website=TranBC {{!}} Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure |publisher=Government of British Columbia |accessdate=November 24, 2018 |date=August 2018}} 6. ^1 {{cite report |title=Landmark Kilometre Inventory |url=http://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/driving-and-transportation/transportation-infrastructure/engineering-standards-and-guidelines/traffic-engineering-and-safety/highway-safety/lki/lki_bc_201607.pdf |pages=202–206 |website=British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure |publisher=Cypher Consulting |date=July 2016}} External links
