Contrary to popular belief, the busiest section of 
Nova Scotia highway awaiting twinning is not Route 101 or 103, but Route 125, the Sydney Bypass.
This circumferential highway connects the communities of industrial Cape Breton. It runs from the TransCanada 105 at Sydney Mines to 
the Sydney-Glace Bay Highway. Its most heavily travelled section includes a roughly four-kilometer stretch that narrows inexplicably and dangerously to two lanes at Ball’s Creek, before widening to four lanes at the Coxheath interchange.
From time to time, seemingly always in election years, heavy equipment appears and spends a few weeks removing trees or scruffing overburden, only to disappear after the vote.
Well, the vote is June 9, and the highhoes are back.
