Quick Facts Route 113, Route information ...

In Shippagan, the route forms parts of Première rue, J. D. Gauthier Boulevard Est, and 17e rue. In the Town of Lamèque, it forms rue du Pêcheur nord.

Prior to the opening of a bridge in 1997, Miscou Island was served only by a ferry service from Île de Lamèque. Route 113 was then realigned in 1999 to provide a more direct connection from the town of Lamèque to the bridge. The former routing, which served several communities on the western shore of the island, is now Route 313.
