Route 340

Route 340 (known as the Road to the Isles) is a major highway in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Its major communities along the route are Lewisporte and Twillingate.

The highway begins at an overpass and off-ramp at the Trans-Canada Highway just west of Notre Dame Provincial Park, and the first major community, Lewisporte, is roughly 11 kilometres north from the overpass. When encountering an intersection at Route 341, motorists would turn right to continue their journey on Route 340, and breathtaking scenery along the shores of Notre Dame Bay awaits the tourists.

Just before approaching Dildo Run Provincial Park (not to be confused with the town of Dildo off Route 80), motorists travel over the causeway to New World Island, at which point they are off the main island of Newfoundland. The town of Twillingate is the last major community, and the journey on Route 340 ends to a steep incline on a dirt road at the Twillingate lighthouse in Wild Cove.
