Route 480, also known as Burgeo Highway or The Burgeo Road, is a 150-kilometre-long (93 mi) north-south on southwestern Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It connects the town of Burgeo with the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1). The highway is a winding two-lane highway traveling through remote, hilly, and wooded terrain for its entire length. There are no other communities of any kind along the highway, with the only other intersections being abandoned logging roads. Route 480 also provides access to Sandbanks Provincial Park and a ferry to the remote town of Ramea at its southern terminus. There are also several vacation/hunting camps along Route 480,[1] including Peter Strides.[2]
Route 480 also carries the designation of The Caribou Trail.
