Route 360, also known as Bay d'Espoir Highway, is a provincial highway in Newfoundland and Labrador. It runs from the Bishop's Falls area to Bay d'Espoir and Harbour Breton. The road is very isolated for at least 140 kilometres (87 mi), where there are no communities or stops to refuel.[1] Bishop's Falls and Harbour Breton are the only two settlements of any size along the entire length of Route 360,[2] with other towns and communities being along the other highways it intersects.[3][4]
Cell phone reception along Route 360 is severely limited.[5][6] In 2022, Route 360 was voted the second Worst Road in Atlantic Canada by the Canadian Automobile Association's Worst Roads list.[7]
