The Trans Canada Trail, being promoted since 2016 as The Great Trail, is claimed to be the world's longest network of recreational trails. Construction began in 1992. When fully connected, the Trail will stretch 24, 000 kilometres (15, 000 mi) from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic oceans. Just over 22, 000 kilometres (14, 000 mi) of the trail are claimed to have been completed as of April 2017 which would make the entire project approximately 93% complete. However, it is also claimed that more than half of the "completed" trail follows unsegregated shoulders of roads and highways. In addition, 240 gaps without shoulders totalling 6, 200 kilometres (3, 900 mi) must be bridged in order to achieve a fully connected trail. The Trans Canada Trail Foundation had given itself until its 25th anniversary and Canada's 150th anniversary in 2017 to reach this objective. However, as of April 2017, many of these gaps remained, and the completion of a fully segregated trail away from roads and highways appeared to be years or even decades away. *** Description sourced from Wikipedia.
