Easterly view from the Ste-Claire Road overpass towards the western-most interchange along A-20. The pictured R-325 overpass looks worse for wear than its actual condition since the concrete sealant that adorns the structure has been allowed to slowly flake away over the years. The western reach of A-20 was completed in the early 1960s, predating the completion of Ontario's Highway 401 to the Quebec border |

Route 325 crosses A-20 at this overpass, while Route 338 begins heading east to Montreal from this location. Route 338 is the equivalent to Ontario's Highway 2, which before A-20 and Highway 401 was the main road between Montreal and Toronto. |

Advanced signage for Exit 9. Notice that a comma is used to show that Exit 9 is located 1.5km from this sign post. The comma and period are reversed in French Language jurisdictions than they are in their English speaking counterparts. Unlike the rest of Canada, in Quebec, one hundred-thousand-dollars would be written as such: $100.000,00. |

View at Exit 9. There is nothing particularly remarkable about this photo, though I always find it striking just how old everything about the Autoroute network is. From the overpass, to the driving surface to the signage -- everything about this freeway is dated. |

Overhead exit at exit 12, with an advanced sign for Route 201. Route 201 is unique as it is the only 200-series secondary highway in Quebec to cross north of the St. Lawrence River. |

Second advanced sign for the Route 201 south exit. Notice the median crossovers to the left of the sign that are used to divert traffic between opposing carriageways during construction.. |

First overhead advanced sign for the A-540 interchange. A-20 has a series of signalized intersections past this interchange through Dorion en route to Montreal, most through traffic utilizes A-540 to A-40 which is consistently a freeway through Montreal. |

View looking westerly from St. Gregoire Road. Note how busy A-20 is leading west towards Ontario. This photo was taken at peak time during the afternoon rush and illustrates a situation where an extra highway lane would be useful. The province of Quebec doesn't have a single rural six-lane highway. |

Easterly view from St. Gregoire Road. About 1km east of this overpass is the A-540 interchange. A-540 is a short but major freeway that splits Montreal-bound traffic between A-20 and A-40. |

Final Eastbound signage for the A-20/540 interchange. Its odd that on this sign the 40 shield appears before the A-540 shield. |

Autoroute 540 is a very useful link between A-20 and A-40, particularly for traffic bound to and from Highway 401. Click here for A-540 images |
