ROUTE DESCRIPTION Route 3 leaves the Former City Of Halifax to the west along the St. Margaret's Bay Road, which goes through the suburbs of Timberlea and Tantallon . The road skirts the coast of St. Margaret's Bay , goes through the village of Hubbards and runs along the northern edge of the Aspotogan Peninsula , before reaching Chester . From Chester, Route 3 follows the western shore of Mahone Bay to reach the town of The Same Name . The highway then turns southeast to the town of Lunenburg , then west to the town of Bridgewater . Leaving Bridgewater to the southwest, Route 3 meets Highway 103 at exit 14. Route 3 is no longer signed in some portions between Bridgwater and Barrington , as Highway 103 assumed some of its former route in the 1970s. Route 3 "re-appears" as the main street and approaches to some towns that Highway 103 has bypassed, including the Liverpool , Lockeport and Shelburne areas. At Barrington, Route 3 departs the 103. The highway closely follows the coast of Barrington Passage and the Gulf Of Maine to reach the Pubnico area, then continuing north along the coast to Argyle . The highway turns west through Tusket to reach its western end at Yarmouth. |
