Route description

Highway 802 is 13.8 kilometres (8.6 mi) long, existing in two discontinuous segments: one extends from Highway 11 northerly to the community of Kashabowie, and the other, two kilometres west of the first, extends from Highway 11 southerly to the ghost town of Burchell Lake.[2] The section of Highway 11 between the two sections is also technically part of Highway 802,[1] although it is not signed as such.

Highway 802, like most other tertiary highways, is not maintained by the Ministry of Transportation during the winter months.

History

The road was originally built in 1902 as a link between the mineral exploration site at Burchell Lake and the train station at Kashabowie, but was not designated as part of the provincial highway system until 1962. Burchell Lake was later abandoned in 1967, although the southerly portion of the road has retained the Highway 802 designation because of the continued presence of a number of recreational properties in the area.[citation needed]
