Highway 116 (or Route 116) is an east/west highway on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada. Its eastern terminus is in Lévis at the junction of Route 132, and the western terminus is at the junction of Route 112 in Saint-Hubert. The stretch between Lévis and Plessisville does not have much traffic, since Autoroute 20 is not that far from the highway. From Plessisville to Richmond has a little bit more traffic as it passes bigger towns, and it is further away from Autoroute 20. From Richmond to Autoroute 20 (where it is multiplexed for 6 kilometers), it is quiet again, before reaching Saint-Hyacinthe, where it becomes a busy four-lane separated highway, going through the growing suburbs of Montréal.
