Route 243 is a north/south highway on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River. Its northern terminus is in Saint-Félix-de-Kingsey at the junction of Route 255 and its southern terminus is in the township of Potton where it crosses the Canada–US border at the North Troy-Highwater Border Crossing into Vermont and becomes Vermont Route 243. Route 243 is not a busy highway as it does not go through big towns.
The highway has three concurrencies:
- In Richmond, it shares a bridge across the Saint-François River with Route 116 and Route 143
- At Racine a 2 km concurrence with Route 222 occurs.
- In Waterloo it runs concurrently first with Route 112, then both it and Route 241 as all three share a bridge across the North Yamaska River
