The road provides a direct link from the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) to the downtown core, which was previously accessible only via city streets such as Topsail Road or Kenmount Road (which was part of the TCH until the Outer Ring Road was built). Initially called the Harbour Arterial, construction began in the early 1970s and was completed in 1979. The $52-million project was funded[2] by the federal and provincial governments. It was renamed by the city council in 1984 after local businessman James Stewart Pitt (1847-1914).[3] The road bypasses Mount Pearl to the south and then runs parallel to the Waterford River on an embankment/cutting along the Southside Hills. It enters the downtown on a concrete viaduct that carries it over the Waterford River valley and the terminus of the former Newfoundland Railway. At the end of the viaduct, it meets New Gower Street which continues into downtown St. John's. As a major route into and out of the city, the road is subject to heavy traffic and has had its share of unfortunate incidents and shutdowns.[4][5][6] {{-}}Exit listExcept for the Conception Bay Highway and Hamilton Avenue intersections, all intersections are grade-separated. {{NLinttop|unnum=yes|length_ref=[1]}}{{NLint|location=Conception Bay South |lspan=7 |km=0.0 |road={{jct|province=NL|NL|60|name1=Conception Bay Highway|city1=Holyrood|location2=Seal Cove}} |notes=At-grade; through traffic follows Route 60 west }}{{NLint |km=2.6 |road=Lawrence Pond Road |notes= }}{{NLint |km=5.2 |road=Legion Road |notes= }}{{NLint |km=7.8 |road={{jct|province=NL|NL|61|name1=Foxtrap Access Road}} |notes= }}{{NLint |km=10.3 |road=Minerals Road |notes= }}{{NLint |type=incomplete |km=13.4 |road={{jct|province=NL|NL|60|to1=yes|road=Manuels Access Road}} |notes=Westbound exit, eastbound entrance }}{{NLint |km=14.4 |road=Fowlers Road |notes= }}{{Jctint |location_special=Mount Pearl – St. John's boundary |lspan=5 |type=trans |km=19.7 |mspan=2 |road={{jct|province=NL|TCH|1|name1=Outer Ring Road|city1=St. John's|city2=Clarenville|city3=Gander}} |notes=Exit 41 on Route 1 }}{{Jctplace |type=trans |km=none |place=East end of Peacekeeper's Way • West end of Pitts Memorial Drive }}{{NLint |km=22.2 |road=Ruth Avenue |notes= }}{{NLint |km=23.7 |road=Richard Nolan Drive / Ruby Line – Goulds |notes= }}{{NLint |km=25.4 |road={{jct|province=NL|NL|3|name1=Commonwealth Avenue / Robert E.
