About this crossing
The Jackman–Armstrong crossing connects Saint-Théophile, Quebec, with Jackman, Maine, deep in the Appalachian highlands: it carries Route 173/US-201, the historic road between Quebec City and New England. It moves Quebec forestry and manufacturing cargo along with travelers on the Quebec–Portland corridor. Surrounded by forest and few people, its line usually stays short; Quebec holidays and the snow season bring the upticks.
