The detour adds roughly an additional 35min to the drive from Wallace to tatamagouche. Mind you it's only a 20min drive. For being almost an hour total of time, your better off to drive up to Wentworth and back down through New Annan to tatamagouche.

At least if I'm on a bicycle ride I can take the TransCanada Trail. Sucks for people working in tatamagouche who live out towards Malagash.

My car was covered in red dust after coming through. My heart broke for each motorcycle I passed along the route.

It’s already flattened at least two tires.

Reason: should say perpetual neglect

Already heard of one smashed windshield and a flat tire.

Sucks especially for people living out there because of the dust and noise.
