Route 450 (also known as Captain Cook's Trail) is a highway in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The highway starts at an interchange at Route 1 (TCH) in Corner Brook.[1] When approaching O'Connell Drive, motorists can turn left to continue their journey along the route. The route terminates at a cul-de-sac in Lark Harbour.[2]

Route 450 made headlines in Newfoundland in January 2018 when massive rainfall caused flooding on January 13 and created a huge crater causing a large portion in the highway to collapse, thus separating residents in Lark Harbour and York Harbour from the remainder of the island.[3] The impacted portion of the road was reopened to traffic on January 17, 2018..[4]
