History

Highway 522 in Trout Creek. At the stop sign, drivers can continue on the highway by turning right, or can turn left onto Highway 522B; both end at Highway 11.

In 2004, Highway 11 was re-routed along a recently completed freeway bypass around the community of Trout Creek. Highway 522 was then extended by 3 km along Hemlock Road (the former alignment of Highway 11), terminating at Highway 11's Exit 301 (interchange with Highway 522 and McFadden Lane). The remainder of Highway 11's alignment in Trout Creek was retained in the provincial system as the designation of Highway 522B, the province's newest numbered highway designation.
