Unlike the more direct Quebec Autoroute 20, which it shadows from Longueuil to Luceville, Route 132 takes a more scenic route which passes through many small towns.

At Rivière-du-Loup, the Trans-Canada Highway continues south on Route 185 to Edmundston, New Brunswick. This eastern section of the highway from Rivière-du-Loup towards Gaspé, was the former Quebec Highway 6, until the early 1970's realignment of route numbers into a grid.
