The northern segment is 78 miles (126 km) long and runs from SK 9 in Northgate to ND-23 near New Town.

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or highway:
“Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of sacralizing person and community.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
“The highway leads to Heaven, but each finds his own way.”
—Chinese proverb.
