A-540 is a short freeway linking A-20 and 40 to the West of Montreal. Click here for Autoroute 540 images
MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulangnes Terrasse-Vaudreuil	Overhead signage for the the only interchange found on L'Ile-Perrot. The Quebec Government has committed itself to completing A-20 as a freeway through Dorion and Ile Perrot. Presumably this would happen on a new alignment, and this interchange would be by-passed.

MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulangnes L'Ile Perrot	This is a photo of the signage for the Don-Quichotte Boulevard Intersection. Boul. Don-Quichotte is one of four signalized intersections along Autoroute 20 ion Ile Perrot. Fortunately, A-40 is located within a stones throw to the north of A-20 so through traffic is not required to pass through either Dorion or Ile Perrot.		High-res

Agglomeration de Montreal Beaconsfield	Overhead signage for Rue Woodland. Rue Woodland is one of two interchanges for Beaconsfield from A-20. Beaconsfield is a predominantly English speaking suburb of Montreal. Montreal is a fantastic cosmopolitan city.

Agglomeration de Montreal Beaconsfield	This view looks easterly towards Montreal from Woodland Avenue. The Woodland Avenue interchange was built in the early 200s replacing an out-dated signalized intersection. During the 1960s and 1970s Quebec spent its money by-passing the former Route 2 with A-40 instead of converting Highway 2 directly into a freeway in Western Montreal.		High-res

Agglomeration de Montreal Dorval	Advanced overhead sign marking the A-520 interchange. The A-20/520 interchange is undergoing major reconstruction at the time of this photo. Presently vehicles must navigate a signalized rotary to travel between the freeways. MTQ is constructed a new set of directional ramps to create a free-flow connection for the west to west and east to east movements.		High-res

Agglomeration de Montreal Dorval	View of the ramp to 55th Avenue, in advance of the A-13 interchange. A-13 is a north-south freeway that runs through the western Montreal suburbs, north from A-20 to A-640.		High-res

Agglomeration de Montreal Lachine	Overhead signage at the First Avenue interchange in Western Montreal. A-20 can be quite congested through this part of the city due to the close proximity of the A-13 and R-138 interchanges.		High-res
	Photographer: Scott Steeves	Date: 7/9/2009
Agglomeration de Montreal Lachine	The outermost eastbound lane departs A-20 for R-138 West, and the Mercier bridge. The 'right-turn sign' is typical on overhead signage where a thru-lane exits the Autoroute.		High-res
	Photographer: Scott Steeves	Date: 7/9/2009
Agglomeration de Montreal Lachine	Eastbound exit for Route 138-West. R-138 is a short freeway west of A-20 where it crosses the Mercier Bridge. East of A-20, R-138 is a conventional city street, one of Montreal's most predominant -- Shrerbroke Street.		High-res
	Photographer: Scott Steeves	Date: 7/9/2009
Agglomeration de Montreal Lachine	View of the R-138 interchange from the eastbound lanes of A-20. This interchange begins a series of large interchanges along A-20 through Western Montreal.		High-res

Agglomeration de Montreal Lachine	Signage for Route 138-East. Notice the wire-mesh netting that is affixed to the overpass structure, this netting is designed to stop large pieces of concrete from falling from the structure onto the freeway below. Quebec has fallen far behind its infrastructure curve.		High-res

Route 138 is one of the Southern Quebec's principal non freeway east-west routes. Click here for R-138 images.

	Photographer: Scott Steeves	Date: 7/9/2009
Agglomeration de Montreal Le Sud-Ouest	View looking easterly through the eastern Route 138 interchange. It is at this interchange where the westbound lanes pass overtop of the eastbound lanes for the short segment where the carriageways are reversed. Driving into Montreal along A-20 really is a unique experience..		High-res
	Photographer: Scott Steeves	Date: 7/9/2009
Agglomeration de Montreal Le Sud-Ouest	At the eastbound merge between A-20 and R-138, sits this sign. It is the first of many First in a series of overhead signs detailing lane specifics for the Turcot Interchange. A-20 exits to the right at this interchange. The through lanes default on A-720 -- Montreal`s downtown expressway spur.		High-res
	Photographer: Scott Steeves	Date: 7/9/2009
Agglomeration de Montreal Le Sud-Ouest	Two views looking westerly from Angrignon Boulevard. As is very evident from the photo, the westbound lanes are departing Montreal to the South of the Eastbound lanes, which both straddle the CN Mainline into Montreal. The R-138-East interchange is visible in the distance. This interchange is built overtop of the CN Railine.		High-res High-res
