link not working to town at north end of Quebec 143[edit]

I am seeing red lettering (indicating a link within wikipedia which does not exist) to Saint-François-du-Lac, which is the town at north end of Quebec provincial route 143. However, when I go to edit the article, I am finding:

Saint-François-du-Lac, Quebec|Saint-François-du-Lac

enclosed in brackets, and this seemingly should work. Why does it not work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 17:27, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When was this road created?[edit]

The article on the Chemin Craig says, In 1810, governor James Henry Craig authorized construction of a road to link Quebec and Boston in the U.S. [...] The planned route went from Saint-Gilles to Richmond, where an existing road (modern-day Quebec Route 143) continued to the Canada–US border. That suggests that Route 143 is at least as old as 1810. Do we know when the road was originally built, by whom, and why? --ESP (talk) 16:30, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
