Nova Scotia Trunk 1
Provincial highways in Nova Scotia
| ← Hwy 162 | Trunk 2 → |
Trunk 1 is a secondary highway in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
It is located in the western part of the province and connects Bedford with Yarmouth via the Annapolis Valley. It was known for many year as "the Post Road". The route runs parallel to, and in some places has been replaced by, Highway 101. Trunk 1 often forms the main street in communities that Highway 101 bypasses.
The highway is 323 km (201 mi) in length and hosts the Evangeline Trail scenic travelway for its entire length, as well as the Glooscap Trail scenic travelway for a section between Windsor and Wolfville.
Just east of Windsor, between Garlands Crossing and Currys Corner, Trunk 1 and Trunk 14 are duplexed for about 2 km.
