The Nova Scotia Department of Transportation began highway corridor preservation work in 1998. A focus report on the highway's construction was submitted by the
Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal on March 31, 2006. Engineering plans and an
environmental impact assessment have been completed. Although no funding has been approved for construction to begin, the provincial government has opted to begin purchasing land required in order to preserve the right of way for the proposed highway. The proposed highway would be in length and run from
Highway 103 near exit 4 in
Hubley in the west to
Highway 102 near exit 3 in
Bedford in the east. Such an alignment would allow traffic currently using the uncontrolled access
Highway 213, known as the Hammonds Plains Road, to bypass the communities of
Stillwater Lake,
Hammonds Plains and
Bedford. The highway is considered a long-term proposal, and there are no plans to construct it in the near future. As of 2024, no plans of Highway 113 have really been known. It is unlikely that Highway 113 will be built in the near future. == References ==
