Nova Scotia Highway 118

Highway 118 is a short suburban freeway connecting (officially) Victoria Road via Woodland Avenue in Dartmouth with Highway 102 at Fall River, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) to the north in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The highway crosses the Historic Shubenacadie Canal and also runs along the western shore of Lake Micmac and the western edge of Shubie Park and is known as Lakeview Drive. Running parallel to the highway from the Waverley Road to exit 14 is a portion of the Halifax Lateral of the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline (natural gas). The highway serves both as an "A-Train and B-Train" route between the Burnside Industrial Park and Highway 102. The highway has the only collector-express section in Atlantic Canada at the new exit 12 Dartmouth Crossing interchange.
