Highway 148 runs from the Quebec provincial border at L'Isle-aux-Allumettes to Pembroke. It is approximately 5.0 km in length.

This short highway connected Highway 17 to Quebec Route 148, via Pembroke. The route was initially signed as part of Highway 62, but was renumbered in 1983 after the new Pembroke Bypass opened to traffic. Highway 148 was originally 14.4 km long, but its length was cut back significantly on April 1, 1997 when the province downloaded responsibility for the portion from Highway 17 to Boundary Street. It is believed that the connecting link status of Highway 148 through Pembroke itself was also repealed at that time. The highway's western terminus is thus at Pembroke's eastern city limits.

At one time there were plans to connect Highway 148 to the ill-fated A-50.
