Route description
Route 81 begins along the banks of the Colinet River in Colinet at an intersection with Route 91 (Old Placentia Highway). It heads north to leave Colinet and become a gravel road as it passes through hilly terrain for the next several kilometres. It crosses over several small brooks before becoming paved again and passing through farmland. The highway now crosses over the Hodge River before passing through Markland. Route 81 continues north to pass along the banks of Junction Pond to enter Whitbourne, where it passes through neighbourhoods before making a sharp left onto Main Road in downtown. It now passes by several businesses and passes through some more rural areas before coming to an end at an interchange between Route 1 (Trans Canada Highway, Exit 28), and Route 80 (Trinity Road).[3]
