Before downloading, Highway 148
connected Highway 17 at the Highway 62 junction with Quebec Highway 148, via
Downtown Pembroke, and the Pembroke-Allumette Bridge. In 1998, all
portions of Highway 148 west of MacKay Street (Highway 41) were formally
decommissioned. These sections are now known as Renfrew Road 58, Trafalgar
Street, and Pembroke Street. Interestingly, all of Highway 148 was once
part of Highway 62. Highway 62 was renumbered to 148 east of the Pembroke
Bypass shortly after the Bypass was constructed. This renumbering more
logically guides travelers to and from Quebec Highway 148. Also of
interest, Highway 148 follows the original alignment of Highway 17 through
Downtown Pembroke before the Pembroke Bypass was completed in the early 1980s.

Road Info: Highway 148 is in good
condition for its entire current length. Between Pembroke and Renfrew
Road 21, the highway is built to very modern standard and is fairly busy.
East of Renfrew Road 21 traffic is much more moderate, and the road is built
to an older standard. Interestingly the portion of Highway 148 east of
Renfrew Road 21 was built in conjunction with PQ-148, and could have very
easily been incorporated into the ill-fated Autoroute-50 extension. |
