History
The highway has developed in sections, with the part between Bedford and Windsor having been built in the 1970s, followed by parts through the Annapolis Valley and Digby and Yarmouth counties in the 1980s-1990s. The highway was built largely to replace the Dominion Atlantic Railway service in the communities along its route. As a result the highway serves as a "B-Train" route for the area.
