The route then passes through Prince William crossing Joslin Creek Basin then entering Lower Prince William as it passes Kings Landing and an interchange with Route 635. The route continues past Longs Creek following the river past Woolastook Park and the Mactaquac Dam through Upper Kingsclear, Central Kingsclear, and Lower Kingsclear, as well as French Village and Island View as it enters Fredericton.
