Route Description[]
Route 112 begins in the town center of Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite, as a continuation of a path leading from the Fort de la Crête à Pierrot. The route continues northwest through the town center as Rue Louverture, passing the town hall and the Place de Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite. After turning slightly north, the route leaves the town center through its north end, entering the communal section of Bas Coursin. At this point, the road becomes Route Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite. The landscape becomes rural, as the route winds left then right, before crossing over to the locality of Ségur. At this junction, the road continues north and becomes Route Marchand-Petite Rivière.

At a T-intersection, the route heads northbound up Rue Jacques 1er where it travels for six blocks, then turns west onto Rue Turling where it runs to Carrefour Fourneau, leaving the Dessalines town center, and thus beginning the concurrency with Route 107.
