  • The Canso Causeway (Cabhsair Chanso in Gaelic) is a 1,385 m (4,544 ft) rock-fill causeway crossing the Strait of Canso, connecting Cape Breton Island by road to the Nova Scotia peninsula. Its is 40 m (130 ft), carrying the two vehicle traffic lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway, Nova Scotia Highway 104 on the mainland side, and Nova Scotia Highway 105 on the Cape Breton side, as well as the single track mainline of the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway. Constructed in an "S" shape, the causeway has a base width of 244 m (801 ft) in waters having a maximum depth of 65 m (213 ft). Cape Breton Island remains circumnavigable as a result of the 24 m (79 ft) wide and 570 m (1,870 ft) long Canso Canal, which is located at the eastern end of the causeway to allow ship traffic to transit the Strait of Canso. The 94 m (308 ft) Canso Canal Bridge is a swing bridge which carries the road and railway line across the canal. The word "Canso" is believed to be derived from the Mi'kmaq word kamsok, which means "opposite the lofty cliffs." On July 2, 2014, it was announced that the Government of Canada would transfer ownership of the causeway to the Nova Scotia provincial government. The federal government will still maintain the Canso Canal and the navigational locks. (en)
  • La chaussée de Canso, Canso Causeway en anglais, est une chaussée longue de 1 385 m qui, en traversant le détroit de Canso, relie l'île du Cap-Breton à la partie continentale de la Nouvelle-Écosse au Canada. Sa partie haute est large de 40 m; elle porte une voie routière à double voies, la Highway 104, portion de la route transcanadienne, et une voie ferrée unique concédée à la Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway. Cette digue a été construite de mai 1952 à avril 1955 sur la partie la plus étroite du détroit. Avec une forme de « S » elle a une base large de 244 m qui repose sur le fond du détroit à une profondeur maximale de 65 mètres. Le (en), large de 24 mètres et long de 570 mètres, est situé à la partie orientale de la digue. Il permet le trafic maritime au travers du détroit de Canso. Un pont tournant de 944 mètres, portant la route 104 et la voie ferrée, le franchit. Le mot Canso dérive sans doute du mot amérindien micmac kamsok, qui signifie « à l'opposé des douces falaises ».
