New Brunswick Route 105 - Route Description

Route Description

From Youngs Cove, Route 105 follows a former routing of the Trans-Canada Highway along the south shore of Grand Lake to Jemseg. From there, the route continues north, following the east bank of the Saint John River, to Fredericton. Within Fredericton, the highway is known as Riverside Drive in the district of Barkers Point and Union Street in Devon. The Nashwaaksis area is bypassed by a four-lane divided expressway known as Ring Road, which connects to the Westmorland Street Bridge.

West of Fredericton, Route 105 continues along the east bank of the river, through Douglas and Keswick Ridge, crossing the Mactaquac Headpond. Between Mactaquac and Nackawic, the road was rerouted after construction of the dam and passes through areas such as Bear Island. The road changes direction to a north-south orientation as the river changes course between Nackawic and Woodstock. The Grafton Bridge, near the junction with Route 585, provides access to the town of Woodstock. Continuing north along the river's east bank, Route 105 passes through Hartland, Florenceville, Bristol, Bath and Perth-Andover. Crossing the Tobique River using the Tobique Narrows Dam, Route 105 passes through several more small farming communities and terminates at Grand Falls.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:

    “no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
    or thought:
    no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
    terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
    of escape open: no route shut,”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    “He hath achieved a maid
    That paragons description and wild fame;
    One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
