A North Sydney man charged after a fatal single-vehicle crash on the 125 Sydney Bypass will be going to trial.

27 year-old Adam Alexander Fraser had a preliminary hearing today and the case is due back in court on Monday to set a trial date.

Fraser faces eight charges, including impaired driving causing death and bodily harm, dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm and driving while prohibited.

29-year-old Billie Jean Blanchard from Glace Bay died in Halifax hospital five days after the crash.
