Route 8 is an important highway link between northern and southern New Brunswick, Canada. 255 kilometres long, it runs from Fredericton to Bathurst via Miramichi.

Route 8 branches apart from the Route 2 (the Trans-Canada Highway) west of Fredericton at the Fredericton West High Speed Connector crossing Route 640 then Route 101. It follows the former TCH alignment to loop around the southern part of the city as a 4-lane freeway before narrowing to 2 lanes at the intersection of Forest Hill Road and crossing to the north side of the Saint John River on the Princess Margaret Bridge. North of Fredericton, the highway crosses Route 105 and follows the east bank of the Nashwaak River as a 2-lane expressway where it is known as the Barkers Point Bypass as it enters an intersection between the communities of Barkers Point and Richibucto Road.
