History
Route 160 was commissioned in 1984 from portions of Route 135 (east of Hautes-Terres) and Route 360 (to the west). Both still exist in shortened form.
In 1989, when a new Route 8 alignment opened that bypassed Allardville to the west, Route 160 was extended 3 km further west along another former portion of Route 360 to meet up with the new highway.
