Route 460 is an 87.5-kilometre-long (54.4 mi) east-west Canadian provincial highway in Newfoundland and Labrador.
It is located on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland and has its western terminus at Cape St. George, the westernmost tip of the Port au Port Peninsula, and its eastern terminus at an interchange in Harry's Brook with Route 1, the Trans-Canada Highway, at Exit 3.[1]
The highway has developed in several distinct sections:
- Harrys Brook to interchange with Route 461 at Long Gull Pond (17 km) was developed at the time that the Trans-Canada Highway was built across Newfoundland in the early 1960s, this section is known as White's Road.
- Long Gull Pond to interchange with Route 490 at Stephenville (16 km), the Hansen Memorial Highway, was developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers to run from Ernest Harmon AFB to the Newfoundland Railway main line at Long Gull Pond. Later, the USACE constructed its own narrow gauge railway line to connect the base with the main line, parallel to the Hansen Memorial Highway.
- Interchange with Route 490 at Stephenville to western boundary of Kippens (4.5 km), known as Kippens Road.
- Continuation from western boundary of Kippens through Port au Port and along the south coast of the Port au Port Peninsula to Cape St. George (51 km), the Port au Port Highway.
