The Highway 104 in the eastern Canadian province of Nova Scotia is to a large extent part of the Trans-Canada Highway system's. It begins on the border with New Brunswick and ends on Cape Breton Island in St. Peter's . The route has a length of 311 km.

Route

The route begins as a continuation of New Brunswick Route 2 west of the city of Amherst . It represents the new line to Highway 4 , but Highway 4 has not been abandoned and will be continued, resulting in numerous intersections between Highway 4 and 104 along the entire route.

The route leads south past Amherst in a south-easterly direction. It touches the parish of Oxford and arrives at the east end of the Bay of Fundy in the city of Truro . There Highway 102 branches off , which leads to the provincial capital Halifax . Highway 104 continues northeast; Highway 106 branches off at Westville . This is also part of the Trans-Canada Highway and leads via Pictou to the ferry to Prince Edward Island .

The route runs south around New Glasgow as a bypass and continues to turn east past Antigonish . At Port Hastings the Strait of Canso is crossed and one arrives at Cape Breton Island . There Highway 105 branches off to the north, via which the Trans-Canada Highway leads from here. A short stretch to Port Hawkesbury has not yet been developed, so this stretch has to be overcome via Highway 4. The route continues eastwards and ends in St. Peter's .

Fee obligation

Cobequid Pass

Highways are generally free of charge in Nova Scotia, but a toll is charged to refinance certain upgraded routes. A 45 km long section, called the Cobequid Pass, between Oxford and Truro is subject to a toll.
