ROUTE DESCRIPTION In the Halifax Regional Municipality , Route 1 starts in Bedford at the intersection of Rocky Lake Road and the Beford Highway on Highway #2 .It is known as Sackville Drive, and is the main street through the community of Sackville . The road continues northwest through Mount Uniacke to Windsor , where it meets the Avon River . Route 1 follows the west bank of the river through Hantsport . At Avonport , Route 1 turns west through the Annapolis Valley , following the south bank of the Cornwallis River through Wolfville , New Minas and Kentville . Bypassing the town of Berwick to the south, Route 1 meets the Annapolis River at Aylesford , and runs along the river's north bank through Kingston , Middleton , Lawrencetown and Bridgetown . The road crosses the Annapolis River at Annapolis Royal , and runs along the southern coast of the Annapolis Basin through Upper Clements and the former site of CFB Cornwallis . Route 1 joins up with Highway 101 at Deep Brook to cross the Bear River , then splits apart to loop through the village of Smiths Cove , across from the town of Digby . Route 1 ends at the western end of this loop, with Highway 101 assuming Route 1's former alignment along St. Mary's Bay . A new controlled-access segment of Highway 101 is proposed for this area; and it is assumed Route 1 will be re-signed along this stretch if completed. At Weymouth , Route 1 re-appears, and continues south along the coast through the Municipality of Clare to its end in downtown Yarmouth on Main Street at the ferry terminal to Bar Harbour Maine. |
