Quebec Route 109
Route 109 is a Quebec provincial highway that runs through the western regions of Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Nord-du-Québec. It begins at Route 117 in Rivière-Héva, proceeding north approximately 59 km (36.7 mi) to Amos. From there, the highway extends 182 km (113.1 mi) to Matagami, where the road continues northwards as James Bay Road (French: Route de la Baie James). While now classified as a municipal road, the James Bay Road was part of provincial Route 109 until 2002. Consequently, some maps may still identify it as such.

gollark: I've never heard of them.
gollark: You're just saying that because the DHMO companies pay you to promote it.
gollark: Well, yes, it occurs in nature, but that doesn't make it non-dangerous either.
gollark: Did you know that DHMO actually enables the growth of dangerous bacteria?
gollark: Sure, it's used in industry, but that doesn't make it not a dangerous chemical.
