Information About

Nova Scotia Provincial Highway 105




The highway travels northeast from Port Hastings along the base of a group of mountains known as Big Ridge to Whycocomagh . It then follows the north shore of Bras D'Or Lake , bypassing Baddeck on a controlled access segment. Still running in a general northeast direction, the highway ascends and decends a number of hills, before reaching the peak of Kellys Mountain . Highway 105 decends using a series of sharp turns, and crosses Great Bras D'Or on the Seal Island Bridge . The road then runs east through the villages of Bras D'Or and Florence , and has controlled access for the final three kilometres to its end at the Marine Atlantic ferry terminal in North Sydney, where travellers can continue to Newfoundland .

With some minor exceptions, the highway is two lanes and uncontrolled access, with some Traffic Light s in the Florence area.

The Cabot Trail , which is usually used to describe a different road, is signed along a portion of Highway 105 so that the signed route forms a loop.

Highway 105 is decended from the former Trunk Highway 5, which no longer exists. The 105 name was applied in 1970 .
