Quebec route 109 begins at Quebec route 117 about 4 km northwest of Rivière-Héva, proceeding north approximately 59 km to Amos. From Amos, the highway extends 182 km (113 miles) to Matagami. At Matagami, the road continues northwards as Route de la Baie James (James Bay Road). While now classified as a municipal road, the James Bay Road was part of provincial route 109 until 2002. Consequently, some maps will still identify it as such.
The 182 km section of route 109 between Saint-Dominique-du-Rosaire and Matagami winds through complete wilderness and has no services at all until you get to Matagami. There is however extensive logging taking place along this section.
Larger communities along route 109 are:
- Rivière Héva
- Amos
- Saint-Dominique-du-Rosaire
- Matagami
