In the
Halifax Regional Municipality, Trunk 1 starts in Bedford at the intersection of Rocky Lake Drive and the Bedford Highway on
Trunk 2. It is known as
Sackville Drive and is the main street through the community of
Lower Sackville. The road continues northwest through
Middle Sackville,
Upper Sackville, and
Mount Uniacke to
Windsor, where it meets the
Avon River. Trunk 1 follows the west bank of the river through
Hantsport. At
Avonport, Trunk 1 turns west through the
Annapolis Valley, following the south bank of the
Cornwallis River through
Wolfville,
New Minas and
Kentville. Bypassing the town of
Berwick to the south, Trunk 1 meets the
Annapolis River at
Aylesford, and runs along the river's north bank through
Kingston,
Middleton,
Lawrencetown and
Bridgetown. The road crosses the Annapolis River at
Annapolis Royal (on the
Annapolis Royal Generating Station), and runs along the southern coast of the
Annapolis Basin through
Upper Clements and the former site of
CFB Cornwallis. Trunk 1 joins up with Highway 101 at
Deep Brook to cross the
Bear River, then splits apart to loop through the village of
Smith's Cove, across from the town of
Digby. Trunk 1 joins up at the western end of this loop, with Highway 101 assuming Trunk 1's former alignment along
St. Mary's Bay. A new controlled-access segment of Highway 101 is proposed for this area; and it is assumed Trunk 1 will be re-signed along this stretch if completed. At
Weymouth, Trunk 1 re-appears, and continues south along the coast through the Municipality of
Clare to its end in downtown
Yarmouth on Main Street at the ferry terminal to
Bar Harbor,
Maine where it meets the
Trunk 3. ==History==
