is a very busy highway as it is the main link between the southern regions of Quebec, in particular the
Beauce region and the
Eastern Townships. Between Sherbrooke and
Marieville there is less traffic, since
Autoroute 10 is in close proximity to the highway. (Before Autoroute 10 was put in service in the early 1960s,
Route 1 (now Route 112) was the main link between Montreal and the Eastern Townships; see paragraph below.) From Marieville to Montreal it is a very busy highway, in most parts a four-lane separated highway, upgraded to freeway standards in certain places.
Route 112 is
Granby's main street (rue Principale),
Magog's main street (rue Principale), and Sherbrooke's main street (rue King). It has been the road connecting most of the Eastern Townships to Montreal for decades as Route 1.
