Guide

Highway 118 is the main access from the north to the MacDonald Bridge and downtown Halifax. It is a controlled-access divided highway from the 102 to the 111 in Dartmouth, beyond which it becomes Woodland Avenue, a surface street. Although northbound Woodland Avenue is signed "TO 118", it is, according to TPW documents, an official part of the route. Woodland Avenue ends at Victoria Road north of downtown Dartmouth, where access to the MacDonald Bridge is provided from another intersection with Nantucket Avenue several blocks to the east.
