This 570-kilometre highway joins the city of Baie-Comeau in Quebec with the Newfoundland-Labrador border. The improvement program is key in the development of Plan Nord, as it will improve access to lands north of the 49th parallel. The program is divided into five individual projects: Project A: from Fire Lake to Fermont; Project B: Baie-Comeau to Manic-2; Project C: winding sector north of Manic-Five; Project D: Manic-2 north of Manic-3; Project E: Manic-3 North to Manic-5. After the commencement of Project C in 2019, Project B got underway in May 2020. Project C carries a cost of $27 million, while Project B represents an. investment of $121.8 million. Work has taken place on sections of the road, including Project C (completed) and parts of Projects D and E. Project B has been under construction since 2020.
