(Westmorland)
Routing: 27 km (17 mi), from NB 106 in Dieppe to NB 15 exit 31 in Shediac, via Scoudouc. NB 11 continues north on this road. Street Names: Champlain Street (Dieppe). Before 1965: The predecessor to 132, NB 32, followed the present-day 132 from Shediac south, but instead of turning west towards Moncton, it went south to Memramcook. In the 1940s, NB 32A was commissioned, from Scoudouc to Dieppe. After 1965: As part of the Great Renumbering, the old NB 32 between Scoudouc and Memramcook was decommissioned and 132 was created, following 32A and the remaining section of 32. In 1973, when the Shediac Bypass was completed and became NB 15, 132 was shortened about half a mile to end at the new road. Junctions with Other Routes: |

(Gloucester, Restigouche)
Routing: 156 km (97 mi), from NB 8 near Allardville to the Quebec border near Tide Head, via Bathurst, Beresford, Nigadoo, Petit-Rocher, Pointe-Verte, Belledune, Jacquet River, Charlo, Dalhousie, Campbellton and Atholville. Street Names: Miramichi, Murray and St. Peter Avenue (Bathurst), Baybreeze, William and Victoria Streets (Dalhousie), Vanier, Ramsey, Water and Roseberry Street (Campbellton). Scenic: Part of the Acadian Coastal Drive between Bathurst and Tide Head. Points of Interest: Miners Museum (Petit-Rocher), Salmon Park (Campbellton). Before 1965: Part of NB 8 southeast of Bathurst, and NB 11 to the northwest. After 1965: 134 was first commissioned on the North Shore when the Bathurst and Campbellton- Dalhousie bypasses were completed by 1975. When the Super 2 connecting the two places , plus NB 8 south to Allardville, were built by 1990, the old road had become NB 134. Notes: There was another "central" NB 134 near Miramichi apparently in the mid-1990s. It existed when NB 8 was rerouted for the first 10 km north of the city. No maps since 1996 have shown it. It might be a "mapo" or an unsigned road. Another "mapo" appeared on the 1991-94 New Brunswick official maps. It showed NB 134 running east from Bathurst along an unnumbered road to meet NB 11 at Janeville. It also runs west and south of the city, so this meant the map showed 134 intersecting itself!

Routing: 20 km (12 mi), from TC 2 in St. Basile to TC 2 exit 8 in St. Jacques, via Edmundston. Street Names: Canada Road, Queen Street. Points of Interest: Les Jardins Provincial Park (at northern terminus). Before 1965: Was part of NB 2. After 1965: The middle 10 km through Edmundston was NB 14 between 1965 and 1985. 14 was extended to its current eastern terminus in St. Basile around 1980, and 144 north to St. Jacques around 1993. Notes: Speculation on my part: NB 144 will probably be extended to St. Leonard when TC 2 is upgraded to freeway. Junctions with Other Routes: |

Why did they have to assign a number to this short road when the entire route was already known as Milltown Boulevard? |

(Victoria)
Routing: 5 km (3 mi), from the Maine border near Fort Fairfield to NB 105 in Perth-Andover. Before 1965: The western 2 miles made up the first version of NB 7 before 1965. The eastern part, which runs along the west bank of the Saint John River and then crosses it at its tail end, was part of the pre-bypass NB 2. After 1965: Was NB 19 between 1965 and ~1985, then got its present number. Notes: A short border route continues the similarly short ME 167. If the DOTs could just get together and agree on on number for this road, the world would be a much better place. :-) Junctions with Other Routes: |

(Queens)
Routing: 16 km (10 mi), from TC 2 exit 343 in Jemseg to TC 2 in Mill Cove. Before 1965: Part of NB 9. After 1965: Was part of TC 2 until the Super 2 was built east of Jemseg in 1993, when NB 192 was (apparently) commissioned. Notes: Nary a mention of NB 192 on any signs, only "Grand Lake Drive". In fact, I didn't know about its secret number until I saw the 1997 issue of the government's "New Brunswick Atlas", showing 192 in all its glory. This probably all has to do with the toll highway, which the aforementioned "Super 2" will be part of. When it is opened in its entirety, 192 could stretch from Fredericton to Sussex, and maybe further. Junctions with Other Routes: |
