Cobequid Pass in Nova Scotia

Cobequid Pass

Cobequid Pass is the name given to a 45 kilometre toll section of Nova Scotia Highway 104 in Colchester County and Cumberland County between Masstown and Thompson Station with a toll station near Great Village. The toll section got its name from the Cobequid Mountains, which the highway goes through.

Tolls are four dollars cash for cars or two dollars with Electronic toll collection and $3.50 per axle for commercial vehicles. The Atlantic Highway Management Corporation operates the Cobequid Pass for the Nova Scotia Government. First opened to traffic on November 15, 1997, a high accident rate on the previous 54-kilometre 2-lane roadway through Wentworth Valley and over Folly Mountain on Trunk 4 was a major reason for construction of the Cobequid Pass, with as many as 50 deaths in the previous decade.^{[citation needed]}
