Route 117 is an East/West provincial highway in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It mainly follows the Gulf of St. Lawrence north of Kouchibouguac National Park to the mouth of the Miramichi River. The highway runs from the Route 11 interchange near Saint-Louis de Kent and doubles back past Route 11 in Chatham, continuing concurrently with Route 8 until its terminus at the interchange with the King George Highway in Newcastle. The route has a length of approximately 114 kilometres and services small, otherwise isolated, rural communities. In these areas, the highway is often unofficially referred to as "Main Street". Within the City of Miramichi, the route is named Loggie Road, Wellington Street, University Avenue, and Airport Road.
