    Route description

    Route 310 begins in Glovertown at an interchange with Route 1 (Trans-Canada Highway, Exit 25). It heads east to pass through downtown and the harbour before crossing over a river into Traytown. The highway passes through town along Main Street, where it meets a local road leading to Cull's Harbour, local road into Terra Nova National Park, as well as meeting the East Access to Route 1. Route 310 now leaves Traytown and crosses a long Causeway to pass through Sandringham and Eastport, where the highway meets local roads leading to Happy Adventure, Sandy Cove, St. Chad's, Clay Cove, and Burnside. At Burnside, a ferry port services St. Brendan's.[3][4][5] Route 310 now winds its way northeast up the coastline for several kilometres to enter Salvage, where it comes to a dead end.
