course

Southern section

Route 11 branches off south of Shediac from Route 15 to the north. The section has been developed as a four-lane freeway. Route 134 runs parallel to Route 11 . This crosses Route 11 several times and thus opens up surrounding communities. After about 75 km the route led to the Kouchibouguac National Park . Passing the national park, head northwest towards the town of Miramichi , where Route 8 is crossed.

Acadian Peninsula

In Miramichi, the route turns to the northeast. It now runs along the coast of the Acadian Peninsula , hence the name Acadian Highway . If you don't want to bypass the entire peninsula, you can shorten it with the help of Route 8, which leads directly to Bathurst . At Caraquet , the route then follows the north coast of the peninsula to Bathurst.

Northern section

The northern section of the route follows the southern coastline of Chaleur Bay . Route 134, already mentioned, runs directly on the coast, while Route 11 runs parallel to it somewhat inland. West of Campbellton , the route meets Route 17 , which leads to Saint-Léonard on the Trans-Canada Highway and ends here. Route 11 makes a turn to the north and crosses the Restigouche and thus the border with Québec . There the road joins Québec Route 132 and ends there.

expansion

The southern section of the route has already been expanded to four lanes as a freeway. This expansion is to be continued to St. George south of Bouctouche. In addition, a second section between Glenwood and Miramichi will be upgraded to four lanes. The measure began in 2014 and is expected to be completed within ten years. The cost of the entire measure is estimated at 1 billion CAN $.
