History
editThe road from Andover to the border near Fort Fairfield, Maine was originally designated as Route 7. It was renumbered as Route 19 in 1965 and Route 190 in 1984.
A high-speed connector road between the Trans-Canada Highway and the bridge in Southern Victoria was constructed as part of upgrades to the Trans Canada Highway in 2003. It became part of Route 109, which was extended from across the river, while Route 190 was shortened.
