Nova Scotia Highway 103
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 103 is an east-west highway in Nova Scotia that runs from Halifax to Yarmouth.
The highway follows a route of approximately 300 km (185 mi) along the province's South Shore region fronting the Atlantic coast. The route parallels its predecessor, local trunk highway 3. The highway varies from 2-lane controlled access to 2-lane local secondary roads on the section between Yarmouth and Bridgewater. East of Bridgewater to Timberlea, the highway is 2-lane controlled access, with the exception of a short 4-lane expressway near Chester. From Tantallon (Exit 5), to the interchange with Highway 102 in Halifax, the highway is 4-lane divided freeway.
The highway has developed sporadically since the 1970s, with the 2-lane controlled access portion to Bridgewater being largely responsible for the abandonment of CN Rail's South Shore line, the former Halifax and Southwestern Railway.
