From Youngs Cove, Route 105 follows a former routing of the
Trans-Canada Highway southwest (signed north) along the south shore of
Grand Lake to
Jemseg. The Route 105 designation ends at the intersection with
Route 695 in Jemseg due to the decommissioning of the old Jemseg River Bridge. The existing roadway, Marina Drive, terminates at a cul-de-sac just before reaching the river. The same is true approaching the river from the west. Traffic must use the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2) between exits 333 and 339 to cross the Jemseg River. The Route 105 designation resumes upon exiting Route 2 at exit 333 near Coytown. From there, the route continues west, 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-Millville, 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-Millville 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 Route 108 in
Grand Falls. == History ==
