Route 3A, also known as Team Gushue Highway, is a currently 6.6-kilometre-long (4.1 mi) north-south freeway on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It straddles the line between the provinces two largest cities, the capital city of St. John's and the city Mount Pearl. It currently envisioned to run from the Outer Ring Road (Trans-Canada Highway/Route 1) to the interchange between Pitts Memorial Drive (Route 2) and the Goulds Bypass (Route 3), but currently only runs between Route 1 and Route 60 (Topsail Road). The highway also serves as an alternative to The Parkway.[2][3]

Although Route 3A is technically an alternate route of Route 3, it is the only alternate route in the province that does not connect to its "parent" route.
