King's Highway 148, commonly referred to as Highway 148, is a provincially maintained highway in Ontario, Canada. The highway acts as an extension of Route 148 in Quebec, once connecting it with Highway 17, the Trans-Canada Highway, near Pembroke. It was shortened to its present terminus in 1997, and now connects downtown Pembroke to the provincial border. Highway 148 follows a route that was once part of Highway 17 and Highway 62 until the Pembroke Bypass opened in 1982.
The 7.0-kilometre (4.3 mi) route of Highway 148 takes it along the Ontario shoreline of the Ottawa River from the outskirts of Pembroke to the opposite shore as L'Isle-aux-Allumettes, where it crosses the river into Quebec. The section of the highway within Pembroke is locally maintained under a Connecting Link agreement.
Highway 148 connects Pembroke to the Quebec border at L'Isle-aux-Allumettes, a distance of 5 km (3.1 mi). It originally connected to Highway 17 west of Pembroke, and was 15.1 km (9.4 mi) long. However, its length was truncated on April 1, 1997 when the province downloaded responsibility for the portion from Highway 17 to Boundary Street. At that time, the connecting link status of Highway 148 through Pembroke itself was revised, and the current signed terminus of the highway is now Mackay Street, which was formerly Highway 41. Approximately 11,400 vehicles drive along Highway 148 on an average day, with just under half that many crossing from or into Quebec.
