Nova Scotia Highway 104
Encyclopedia
Highway 104 in Nova Scotia
runs from the New Brunswick
border near Amherst
to St. Peter's
. Except for the portion on Cape Breton Island
between Port Hawkesbury
and St. Peter's, it is part of the Trans-Canada Highway
.
Highway 104 mostly supplants the former route of Trunk 4. In 1970, all sections of Trunk 4 west of New Glasgow were renumbered, although the number was added back in the Mount Thom and Wentworth Valley
areas in the 1990s when new alignments of Highway 104 opened to traffic.
The provincial government named the length of the highway between the New Brunswick border and the Canso Causeway the Miner's Memorial Highway on 8 September 2008 one month before the 50th anniversary of the Springhill Mining Disaster
of 23 October 1958.
The route is 320 kilometres (198.8 mi) long, of which the western 177 km (110 mi) is a 4-lane divided freeway. From Amherst, the highway runs east to Oxford
, then southeast on a tolled section through the Cobequid Pass
that opened in 1997. Tolls for this section are $4 for cars and $3.50 per axle for commercial vehicles. It meets Highway 102
near Truro
then turns back northeast past Mount Thom
to New Glasgow
.
East of New Glasgow, the highway becomes 2 lanes and undivided, and portions have no controlled access. There are traffic lights in the Antigonish
area, although construction has begun on a four-laned bypass. This bypass will keep traffic moving at 110 km/h (70 mph), and eliminate the various bottlenecks between Antigonish and Heatherton, including stretches of road with a posted speed limit of 60 km/h (40 mph). Beginning at Heatherton
(19 km to the east), Highway 104 is a two-lane freeway
to Auld's Cove
, where several gas stations and motels are located. The highway then crosses the Canso Causeway
to Cape Breton Island. The highway is unsigned as it follows Trunk 4 through the town of Port Hawkesbury
. From there, another 37 km (23 mi) two-lane freeway segment follows the southern coast of Cape Breton Island to its end at Trunk 4 in St. Peter's. An extension of Highway 104 to Sydney
has been proposed in the past.
The Nova Scotia provincial government has designated the entire length of Highway 104 from Amherst to St. Peters as a "strategic highway" to qualify for federal cost-sharing of maintenance and future upgrades. This designation has also been applied to the remaining Trunk 4 corridor in Cape Breton along the south shore of Bras d'Or Lake
from St. Peters to Sydney. It is eventually envisioned that the Trans-Canada Highway will follow the entire length of Highway 104 from Amherst to Sydney as a 4-lane freeway, upgraded from the existing two-lane freeway and uncontrolled access sections of the highway.
, and the Canso Causeway
. The mayor of Port Hawkesbury, Billy Joe MacLean, was quoted as saying to the government of Nova Scotia
, "...if you thought you had people getting killed this year, there's more coming in 2011 and 2012. So please answer what we're asking for. Give us a date and time for completion of highway twinning." The province is currently building a bypass around the Town of Antigonish, but is not expected to be completed until 2012. In their recently released 5-year paving plan, Nova Scotia's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal has no plans to twin Highway 104 to the Canso Causeway.
