Quebec Autoroute 440 (Laval)


Autoroute 440 is a provincial highway that runs across the city of Laval, Quebec from Autoroute 13 to Autoroute 25. It is currently long and proceeds across Île Jésus on an east–west axis. It links every highway or expressway that connects Montreal to the North Shore.
Originally, it was supposed to have continued west in the Avenue des Bois corridor and crossed Rivière des Prairies on Bigras and Bizard Islands. On the latter island, the right-of-way is actually a public park. On the Island of Montreal, the A-440 right-of-way is just west of Boulevard Château-Pierrefonds. The autoroute would have ended at the Chemin Sainte-Marie interchange, on Autoroute 40.

Exit list

The entire route is in Laval. The exit numbers do not correspond with the km marker because the highway is never fully completed.
