Construction isn’t anticipated to begin until the 2025-2026 fiscal year, but the province is providing a look at what is proposed to improve a problematic section of Highway 103 in Yarmouth County. | SaltWire
The Department of Public Works has released this drawing of the proposed project to improve safety at a problematic section of Highway 103 in Yarmouth County, where Exits 32 and 32A, and also Nakile Drive, currently exist. This is concept only, at this point, and not finalized.
Exit 32A, the ‘Glenwood exit’ would also be removed with new access onto and off of Highway 103 from Trunk 3 also being through Chemin Oak Park Road and Myrtle Lane. “It's a significant undertaking for the department and it's going to certainly improve the safety for residents and for commuters that travel that section of highway,” he says.
A Google Maps image of this section of Highway 103 where there is a lot going on with exits, turns lanes and also the lack thereof. A big problem is the lack of a right-hand turn lane onto Nakile Drive along this stretch of highway where the speed limit is 100 km/h. Highway 103 is the only way to access Nakile Drive. WEBSITE - ContributedSafety concerns have continuously been raised.
Things can get pretty congested around Exit 32 and Nakile Drive on Highway 103 in Yarmouth County. TINA COMEAU PHOTO - Tina Comeau Nakile administrator Gail Kaiser told Saltwire in the past that there is a lot of strategizing by Nakile employees and other visitors when you’re having to make that right-hand turn. After all, motorists can’t take the turn at 100 kilometres an hour.
