Route 330

Route 330, the western portion of the Road to the Shore, is a major provincial route in the Central region of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the only loop road that starts and ends at the Trans-Canada Highway and involve one route transitioning into another (the Irish Loop on the Avalon Peninsula starts at Route 10 and transitions to Route 90 at St. Joseph’s-St. Vincent’s-Peter’s River, but since Route 10 starts from the City of St. John’s, it doesn’t qualify).

The route starts at a major airport community, Gander. Motorists would have to travel 4# kilometres further north before approaching the next community, Gander Bay South. There are a number of slight curves and some dips in the road along the way.

Upon arrival in Gander Bay South, there is a turnoff to Route 331 which is a route that can be taken to drive to the Fogo Island and Change Island ferry terminals.

Travelling north of Musgrave Harbour on Route 330, is where the Road to the Shore got its name. There is a long stretch of highway with barren land on one side of the road, and a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean on the other side, and no hills are prevalent on the road. This view would continue through the town of Lumsden.

Upon approaching the turnoff to New-Wes-Valley, Route 330 transitions into Route 320, which ends at the town of Gambo.
