Route 4 is 28 kilometres long and runs from the community of St. Croix on the Canada-U.S. border opposite Vanceboro, Maine to a junction with Route 3 at Thomaston Corner, near Harvey Station. It runs through the village of McAdam.

Between McAdam and St. Croix, Route 4 follows the bed of one of New Brunswick's first railways, a wooden line built by a lumberman named Todd who wanted to transport his logs to the St. Croix River. The line was deemed surplus with the construction of the parallel European and North American Railway in the late 1860s, immediately to the south, and it was later converted to a road.[2]
