History

The road now known as Route 107 was not fully completed until the late 1950s, when the section between Napadogan and Juniper opened. The section between Nashwaak Bridge and Nashwaak was known as Route 25A until 1965, when the current number was applied.

The route was extended east to the Marysville Bypass with the opening of the new road in 2014.[2]
