Highway 7 is known for its length as the Lougheed Highway is an alternative route to highway 1 through the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. Where as the Highway 1 follows the south of the Fraser River, Highway 7 follows the north of the Fraser River. Highway 7 is an east/west route. Its east end is near Hope at Highway 1 and its west end is at Granville Street at Vancouver (Highway 99). It is also concurrent with Highway 9 for a short distance near Agassiz.[3]
