New Brunswick Highway 4 is 28 kilometres long and runs from the Canada-U.S. border opposite Vanceboro, Maine to a junction with New Brunswick Highway 3 at Thomaston Corner, near Harvey Station. It runs through the village of McAdam.
Between McAdam and the border, 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 another railway immediately to the south, and was later converted to a roadbed.
