Route 138 is a major highway in the Canadian province of Quebec, following the entire north shore of the Saint Lawrence River past Montreal to the eastern terminus in Natashquan on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
The western terminus is in Elgin, at the border with New York State south-west of Montreal (connecting with New York State Route 30). Part of this highway is known as the Chemin du Roy, or King's Highway, which is one of the oldest highways in Canada.
It passes through the Montérégie, Lanaudière, Mauricie, Capitale-Nationale and Côte-Nord regions of Quebec. In Montreal, Highway 138 runs via Sherbrooke Street, crosses the Pierre Le Gardeur Bridge to Charlemagne and remains a four-lane road until exiting Repentigny.
This highway takes a more scenic route than the more direct Autoroute 40 between Montreal and Quebec City. It crosses the Saguenay River via a ferry which travels between Baie-Sainte-Catherine and Tadoussac.
Until the mid 1990s, the highway's eastern terminus was Havre-Saint-Pierre, but in 1996 the extension to Natashquan was completed. This gradual extension of the highway suggests that the highway may one day be extended to the border of Newfoundland and Labrador, once it connects with a local road that extends west from Blanc-Sablon. (In fact that road does bear signage for Route 138.) If built before the upgrading of Route 389 to the Labrador border, it would be a vital connecting link to a Newfoundland-Labrador fixed link spanning the Strait of Belle Isle. (At this time, the shortest prospective road link is Route 389 from Baie-Comeau, connecting to the Trans-Labrador Highway to Goose Bay, a highway from Cartwright to Blanc-Sablon, and a new route now being engineered between Cartwright and Goose Bay.)
On August 25, 2006, the Quebec government announced a 10-year project to build 425 kilometres of highway along the north shore, excluding a 40 kilometre gap at a major river crossing, the Natashquan, which will require further study.
In October 2010 the Quebec government announced that route 138 would be extended from Vieux-Fort to Kegaska by creating sections to continue the road along the Lower North Shore.
With every strong wind, each rising tide and every snowstorm, the road 138 in Blanc-Sablon, near l’Anse-aux-Dunes, is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea.
