The Blue Route is a cycling network under development in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. In 2017, the total length of the cycling network was 437 kilometres (272 mi).[2] When completed it will comprise approximately 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) of on- and off-road bicycle routes. The first 56 kilometres (35 mi) section opened in 2015, linking Pictou to Bible Hill, and the whole network is expected to be completed by 2025.[3]
