New Brunswick Route 127

Route 127 is an East/West provincial highway in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The highway starts out in Lawrence Station at the intersection of Route 3 The road travels mainly south for almost 60 km through mostly rural communities. The road passes Rickets Island and runs along the Canada/US border as is the main route into St. Andrews, where the road name changes to Bayview Drive and Mowat Drive. In St. Andrews, the highway takes a sharp, almost 180-degree, turn before it finally ends ending in the community of Bocabec.

History
Route 127 was commissioned in 1965 as a short loop off Route 1 into St. Andrews. (Route 1 then followed the eastern shore of the St. Croix River as far as Ghost Road in Bayside, then crossed over to the east side of the peninsula to go north along Passamaquoddy Bay.) When a new alignment of Route 1 opened in 1973 between Waweig and Digdeguash, Route 127 was extended along the bypassed segments of Route 1. It was extended further north to Lawrence Station in 1984, when Route 765 was decommissioned.
