From Km 212, the highway follows a path traditionally used by aboriginal people and explorers, with access to the Hart Jaune Hydroelectric Complex at Km 390. The town of Gagnon, now torn down, was at Km 394.
Starting at Km 482, the "Fire Lake Mine Road" section was built by unemployed workers during a labour dispute, influenced by the presence of the railway owned by the Quebec-Cartier Mining Company. This section of road is notoriously known as "the trail".
From Km 482 to Km 570 km (354 miles from Baie Comeau), the provincial border, the road is an accident-prone section notorious for its poor surface and sharp curves (the joke being you can see your own taillights). Local citizens in adjacent Labrador are urging realignment of this road, a vital work if it were to be the routing to a fixed link to Newfoundland.
At Km 562 is the town of Fermont, a former mining town, and last Quebec port-of-call before entering Newfoundland and Labrador. Labrador City is 23 km further along what is now Highway 500, Wabush is 5 km past that. The Goose Bay ferry terminal is 560 km from the border crossing, making the border crossing roughly the half-way point of this trans-provincial highway roadway (Route 389 + Highway 500).
