Route 143 is a north/south highway on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River. Until the mid-1970s when the province decided to renumber all highways other than autoroutes, it was known as Route/Highway 5. Its northern terminus is in Saint-François-du-Lac, at the junction of Route 132, and the southern terminus is in Stanstead at the border with Vermont where the road continues past the Derby Line-Stanstead Border Crossing as U.S. Route 5 through Derby Line to New Haven, Connecticut. Since Autoroute 55 closely parallels Route 143 for most of its length, much commercial traffic chooses the former. However, it is a very busy route and takes much traffic from the border to the Sherbrooke local area. Route 143 closely follows the Saint-François River between Sherbrooke and Ulverton. The road is often in notoriously poor condition, since its original cement was laid directly on a gravel road in the mid-1920s. It has been extensively resurfaced to the point the pavement is now more than three feet thick in places. Nonetheless, it heaves extensively each spring thaw. ==Municipalities along Route 143== * Stanstead * Stanstead-Est * Hatley * Waterville * Sherbrooke - (''Lennoxville /'' Sherbrooke ''/ Bromptonville'') * Val-Joli * Windsor * Cleveland * Richmond * Ulverton * L'Avenir * Drummondville - (''Saint-Nicéphore /'' Drummondville ''/ Saint-Majorique-de-Grantham'') * Saint-Bonaventure * Saint-Pie-de-Guire * Saint-François-du-Lac 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quebec Route 143」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
