The northern section of A-15 is the main freeway route to the Laurentians until it downgrades to Quebec route 117. It also links up to the northern suburbs of Montreal, as well as provides a connection to A-440 and A-50 in Mirabel. In the future, it is possible that A-15 may continue even farther north, past Mont-Tremblant, as Route 117 is already an at-grade expressway with a freeway bypass of Saint-Jovite completed, and the name Autoroute des Laurentides is also recognized on the freeway bypass (and exit numbers continue). This section is numbered separately from the southern section as if it was a different route. This is also part of the Trans-Canada Highway.
