Route 117 is an east-west provincial highway in New Brunswick, Canada. The road runs from Route 11 in Saint-Louis to Route 8 in Miramichi. The road has a length of approximately 114 kilometres, and services small, otherwise isolated rural communities.

History

Route 117 was created in 1965 from parts of the former Route 12 (between Nelson and Chatham) and Route 37 (between Chatham and Bay du Vin).

The Chatham bypass and Miramichi Bridge were completed in 1997, creating a high-speed controlled-access connector between Newcastle and Chatham in the City of Miramichi.
