Route 170 is an 18 km (11 mi) long east–west provincial highway in southwest New Brunswick, Canada. It goes from Route 127 in Gilmans Corner, New Brunswick to the Canada–United States border in St. Stephen.
History
Route 170 was commissioned in 1984 as a renumbering of the former Route 20, which had existed since 1965. Initially consisting only of Milltown Boulevard, it connected downtown St. Stephen with the smaller Milltown border crossing to the west. It was extended eastward along a former routing of Route 1 to Waweig in 2008.
