It runs from Champs Fleur to Chaguanas where it meets the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway. It crosses the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway at Valsayn. The highway was originally named the Princess Margaret Highway and was constructed in 1958. It was extended and renamed for labour leader Tubal Uriah Butler in 1988.
Famous quotes containing the words butler and/or highway:
“If strange men come from the house
To lead her away do not say
That she is happy being crazy;
Lead gently astray;
Let her finish her dance,
Let her finish her dance.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Off Highway 106
At Cherrylog Road I entered
The ‘34 Ford without wheels,
Smothered in kudzu,
With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
