Route 134 is a 261 km (162 mi) Canadian is an North/South secondary highway in the northeast Canadian province of New Brunswick. The highway is actually divided by Northumberland County into a northern and southern section.

The route's southern terminus is at Route 15 in Moncton. From there, it runs along New Brunswick's east coast to merge with Route 11 just south of Kouchibouguac. Route 134 appears again in Gloucester County, where it splits off from Route 8, running parallel with Route 8 as far as Bathurst. At this point, Route 134 continues on following the southwest shore of Chaleur Bay to the northern tip of Restigouche County where it finally ends at Route 11 in Tide Head.

History

Route 134, for the most part, consists of former routings of New Brunswick Route 8 and New Brunswick Route 11. It first appeared in 1972 with the opening of the Shediac, New Brunswick Four-Lane between Moncton and Shediac, New Brunswick (now part of New Brunswick Route 15). Different sections of Route 134 continued to appear between the mid-1970s and the early 1990s as construction continued of new controlled-access alignments of New Brunswick Route 8 and New Brunswick Route 11.

As New Brunswick Route 11 between Kouchibouguac and Miramichi, and a stretch of Route 8 south of Allardville have never been upgraded, Route 134 remains a "broken" route.

A third segment of Route 134 appeared briefly on maps in the early 1990s along Oldfield Road north of Miramichi (after a new alignment of Route 8 was constructed), whether it was signed or officially part of the route is uncertain.

Route 134 was rerouted in a portion of Belledune in 1996 after the footprint of a new power plant took over a section of the route's former alignment
