Newfoundland and Labrador Route 71

Route 71 (also known as Hodgewater Line) is a highway in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.[1] It serves as a bypass road to Route 70 and Route 75 (Veterans Memorial Highway). Upon exiting Route 1, it is a dirt road until just before the access to Route 75. There is an abundance of summer cottages along the route, and the route terminates at South River in Conception Bay on Route 70.
