Route description

Thumb
Route 440 ends at this T-intersection in Cox's Cove

Route 440 begins at the westernmost edge of Corner Brook at an interchange with Route 1 (Trans-Canada Highway, Exit 7). It heads west along the banks of the Humber River for a couple of kilometres to a small neighbourhood, where it makes a sharp right turn to cross the river at an intersection with Riverside Drive. The highway heads north past a private RV Park and a large cemetery before leaving Corner Brook and winding its way through the Long Range Mountains to pass through Hughes Brook (where it crosses the river of the same name). Route 440 now passes along the northern coastline of the Humber Arm as it passes through Irishtown-Summerside, Meadows, Gillams, and McIvers. The highway turns northeast through inland terrain for several kilometres to enter Cox's Cove, where Route 440 comes to an end along the coastline of the Bay of Islands at a Y-Intersection with Main Street.
