The HWU-linked May 2025 highway map records this route as 6 blocks wide and 4 blocks high. These are the map's dated construction dimensions. MEG's April 2023 project report also records these dimensions for the full route. MEG reported completing the 6-wide, 4-high tunnel to the Nether world border on May 28, 2022. Credited diggers: Hare_Hare_Yukai, harritaco, Yikyu and Enderlover#4058. The completion dates were published in MEG's January 1, 2023 announcement; they describe the tunnel excavation, not the later paving work.

Recorded status: Complete. Geometry: 2 recorded points. Historical geometry, construction reports and status do not establish current in-game survival or passability.

Direction from the origin: north (derived from the recorded geometry).

Recorded route coordinates

The recorded geometry for -Z Highway starts at X 0, Z 0 and ends at X 0, Z -30,000,000 in the Nether. These are native Nether coordinates. Intermediate turns and points appear in the complete geometry below. This recorded extent does not establish the distance of continuous paving or current passability.

Historical NoCom directional observations

The released Nether north corridor aggregate contains 27,015,144 observations across 17 consecutive 30-day periods, from 2020-03-09 to 2021-08-01 (exclusive).

Historical observations for this dimension and direction, not a count of travelers, visits to individual locations, or observations confined to this Atlas polyline. They do not establish present traffic, survival or passability.

Directional observations by period · World Pulse context and methodology

Authors published temporary highway aggregate; no server_id column. Historical query notes filter 2b2t.org, but their month offset differs from the released table. Dates here use released Unix 30-day bucket IDs 611-627, matching the World Pulse periods.
