Route 2 is commonly called the "All Weather Highway," as it was one of the first such roads in Prince Edward Island to be open for traffic in all seasons. It passes through the cities of Summerside and Charlottetown and roughly parallels the former primary railway line through the province, which was abandoned in 1989.
Route 2 was recognized as the first numbered highway in the province in 1890, when it opened between Charlottetown and Summerside. In 2003 the highway was designated "Veteran's Memorial Highway" - the same year that it qualified for federal infrastructure funding for much-needed capacity upgrades.
Route 2 has several local names:
Souris Road (Souris to Route 4 at Dingwells Mills)
St. Peter's Highway (Dingwells Mills to Charlottetown)
Malpeque Road (Charlottetown to Hunter River); the Malpeque Road alignment continuing thereafter on the Princetown Road
