Provincial highways in Nova Scotia
Trunk 2 is part of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia's system of Trunk Highways. The route runs from Halifax to Fort Lawrence on the New Brunswick border. Until the 1960s, Trunk 2 was the Halifax area's most important highway link to other provinces, and was part of a longer Highway 2 which ended in Windsor, Ontario. The controlled access Highways 102 and 104 now carry most arterial traffic in the area, while Trunk 2 serves regional and local traffic.
This highway forms part of the Glooscap Trail signed tourist route.
Trunk 2 begins at intersection of Lady Hammond Road and Windsor Street on the Halifax Peninsula in the Halifax Regional Municipality. The route heads north, following the Bedford Highway, which runs along the western shore of the Bedford Basin, to the former town of Bedford.
At the north end of Bedford, Trunk 2 takes the Rocky Lake Drive northeast to Waverley where it then turns north (as a continuation of the Waverley Road) along the eastern shore of Lake Thomas. It passes through Fall River and continues along the eastern shore of Fletchers Lake as it passes through Fletchers Lake. It continues along the eastern shore of Shubenacadie Grand Lake and passes through Wellington Station, Wellington, Grand Lake Station and Oakfield before turning slightly northeast to enter the Shubenacadie Valley.
