Part of the provincial 100-series arterial highway network, Highway 125 encircles the west side of Sydney Harbour, from an interchange with Highway 105 (the Trans-Canada Highway ) at Sydney Mines to Highway 4 (Grand Lake Road) at Sydney . The northern 1/3 of the highway was upgraded during the late 1990s and early 2000s from a Two-lane Freeway to a twinned 4-lane Freeway . Particularly problematic was the fact that the highway passes in close proximity to Pottle Lake, the water supply reservoir for North Sydney , which required installation of pollution control monitoring and containment systems. Approximately 6 km of the highway near its mid-point is currently slated for similar upgrading. In 2002 a connector road was built from the Grand Lake Road interchange which gives access to the port of Sydney at the former Sydney Steel Corporation property. INTERCHANGE S FROM SOUTH TO NORTH
