Highway 118, in Nova Scotia, is a short suburban freeway connecting (officially) Victoria Road via Woodland Ave. in Dartmouth with Highway 102 at Fall River, 14 kilometres (9 miles) to the north. The highway crosses the Historic Shubenacadie Canal. Running parallel to the highway from the Waverly Road to exit 14 is a portion of the Halifax Lateral of the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline (natural gas). It also runs along the western shore of Lake Micmac and the western edge of Shubie Park and is known as Lakeview Drive. The highway serves as a "B-Train" route between Dartmouth and Highway 102. The highway has the only Collector-express section in Atlantic Canada. It is located at the new exit 12 Dartmouth Crossing interchange.
The south end of provincial maintenance is at the Highway 111 interchange.[1]
[edit] History
During the early 1970’s, it was decided a new highway was required to directly link Highway 102 with Dartmouth. In 1972, the then Department of Highways expropriated a portion of land for the construction of Highway 118. The highway was complete in the late 70's .
[edit] Exit list
The entire route is in the Halifax Regional Municipality.
