This highway is 30 kilometres long and runs from an interchange of Highway 105 in Sydney Mines to Trunk 4 (Grand Lake Road) in Sydney. Highway 125 was officially designated Peacekeepers Way on August 18, 2008, by Premier Rodney MacDonald, as a reminder of the dedication and sacrifice of peacekeepers who have contributed to missions around the world. This designation is in recognition of Canadian Forces personnel and police from Nova Scotia who have contributed to peace and security around the world.

Nova Scotians have participated in peacekeeping operations from the Middle East to Central America, from Cyprus to Bosnia and Herzegovina. John Horvath of Howie Centre, the eastern regional director of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping, said his project to rename Highway 125 was three years in the making. Horvath served two one-year terms with the United Nations in the Gaza Strip in 1958 and again in 1961.
