Highway 162 is a two-lane controlled access highway on Boularderie Island in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Highway 162 was constructed in the late 1970s to link Highway 105 in Bras d'Or to the now-closed Prince Mine at Point Aconi. In the early 1990s the highway was extended another 2 kilometres to terminate at the Point Aconi Generating Station. The highway is 8km (05miles) long, there is one intersection on the highway near the old Prince Mine site that connects to Point Aconi Road.
