Nova Scotia Route 224

Route 224 is a collector road in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It is located in the Halifax Regional Municipality and Colchester County, connecting Sheet Harbour at Trunk 7 with Milford Station at Exit 9 of Highway 102 and Trunk 14. The route passes through the upper half of the Musquodoboit Valley. The route was originally called Trunk 24.

Route description

The route begins at Exit 9 of Highway 102 in Milford Station in East Hants and runs north to Shubenacadie, where Route 224 is duplexed with Trunk 2 for a short time. Then, the route crosses the Shubenacadie River and enters Colchester County, then turns right and runs south through Pine Grove, to Gays River, where it meets Route 277. The route then turns southeast, then enters the Halifax Regional Municipality.

The route then passes through Cooks Brook and Chaswood, to Middle Musquodoboit, where it meets Route 357. The route then turns left and runs through the northeastern part of the Musquodoboit Valley, passing through Centre Musquodoboit and Elmsvale. In Upper Musquodoboit, the route meets Route 336 and turns south, where it begins to ascend the southern slope of the Musquodoboit Valley. The route then heads southeast toward the Eastern Shore, passing through Beaver Dam and Marinette then on to its eastern terminus in Sheet Harbour, for a distance of 96 km (60 mi).

Oregon Route 224

Oregon Route 224 is a state highway which runs through some of Portland's southeastern suburbs and ends in the Cascades. The northwestern terminus is an interchange with OR 99E in Milwaukie, a suburb of Portland. It continues east as the Milwaukie Expressway, but is formally part of the Clackamas Highway No. 171 (see Oregon highways and routes), until it reaches Interstate 205 in Clackamas, where traffic is directed along the interstate for less than a mile. The concurrency with Interstate 205 is part of the East Portland Freeway No. 64. Then, the highway continues east as a four-lane arterial, resuming its designation as the Clackamas Highway, and which it shares with OR 212. East of Clackamas, OR 224 splits off OR 212, and continues south as the Clackamas Highway, passing through hilly farmland. About eight miles (13 km) north of Estacada, it overlaps OR 211. On the eastern edge of Estacada, OR 224 separates from OR 211, and heads southeast into the Mount Hood National Forest, to the small community of Ripplebrook, its southeastern terminus, where state highway maintenance ends. Drivers may continue along the paved United States Forest Service Road 46 to OR 22 in Detroit, though snow makes the road impassable approximately early November through early May. USFS Road 46 was formerly signed as a portion of OR 224, but was never a state-maintained highway.
