Route 140, also known as Ohio Road,[2] [3] is a 1.567adj=midNaNadj=mid north–south secondary highway in eastern New Brunswick, Canada. Route 140 is a short connector road from Route 15 (exit 37) to the entrance to Parlee Beach Provincial Park. It is the shortest numbered highway in the province.
Located entirely within the Westmorland County town of Shediac,[1] Route 140 begins as a connecting exit from Route 15,[3] travelling north for a distance of 315 metres,[4] arriving at its endpoint at an intersection at Route 133, otherwise known as Main Street.[1]
The connector road has existed as early as 1978; at the time, buildings had been situated along the road.[5]
The area around the road was home to beavers, which were removed in 2013 by the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.[6]
