'''Route 112''' is a [[highway]] in [[New Brunswick]], [[Canada]]; running from [[New Brunswick Route 114|Route 114]] at the south end of the [[Petitcodiac River]] Causeway in [[Riverview, New Brunswick|Riverview]], to an intersection with [[New Brunswick Route 10|Route 10]] at [[Coles Island, New Brunswick|Coles Island]]. The route is 88.8 kilometres long.

From Riverview, Route 112 uses the Coverdale Road along the south bank of the [[Petitcodiac River]], passing through [[Middle Coverdale, New Brunswick|Middle Coverdale]], [[Upper Coverdale, New Brunswick|Upper Coverdale]], and [[Five Points, Albert County|Five Points]] before crossing the river at [[Salisbury, New Brunswick|Salisbury]]. The route then follows the Old Fredericton Road, running due west to a junction with [[New Brunswick Route 885|Route 885]] at [[New Canaan, New Brunswick|New Canaan]]. Route 112 crosses the [[Canaan River, New Brunswick|Canaan River]] and then follows its west bank in a southwesterly direction to the road's end at [[Coles Island, New Brunswick|Coles Island]].

Between Coles Island and [[Salisbury, New Brunswick|Salisbury]], where Route 112 intersects the [[New Brunswick Route 2|Trans-Canada Highway]], Route 112 was a popular [[Shortcut (road)|shortcut]] for travellers between the [[Fredericton, New Brunswick|Fredericton]] and [[Moncton, New Brunswick|Moncton]] areas. In the [[Fredericton, New Brunswick|Fredericton]] area, it was colloquially referred to as the "Coles Island Road". However, with the opening of the upgraded four-lane Trans-Canada Highway in 2001, Route 112's importance as a trans-provincial highway link has diminished. The road is not open to through truck traffic.
