Encyclopedia > Quebec Autoroute 25

Autoroute 25 (also called Autoroute Louis-H-Lafontaine in Montreal) is an Autoroute in the Lanaudière region of Quebec. It is currently 49 km (30 miles) long, with a short gap which follows arterial roads in the north end of Montreal. This article needs cleanup. ...

A-25 begins at an interchange with Autoroute 20 and Route 132 in Longueuil and quickly enters the Louis-H-Lafontaine Tunnel into the east end of Montreal. It is the main north-south freeway in the east end of Montreal (actually northwest-southeast but perpendicular to the St. Lawrence River). Autoroute 20 (also called Autoroute Jean-Lesage) is a very long and important Autoroute in Quebec. ...

Beyond an interchange with Autoroute 40, a gap exists in A-25, and it follows Boulevard Henri-Bourassa to Boulevard Pie-IX, both of which are principal urban arterial roads. However, the gap is expected to be eliminated soon as construction of a bridge over the Rivière des Prairies is expected to occur soon. A short freeway section connecting Boulevard Pie-IX to Autoroute 440 (which is currently multiplexed with A-25) may get a new undetermined designation.

In addition, significant extensions are possible in the north end, which would ultimately double the length of A-25, as follows:

  • New bypasses of Saint-Esprit, Sainte-Julienne and Rawdon which are currently proposed
  • Upgrading of an at-grade expressway section of Route 125 north of Rawdon, most of which is 4-lane (the northernmost section is 2 lanes)

The ultimate length of A-25 will likely be around 100 km (63 miles) long. An expressway is a divided highway, usually 4 lanes or wider in size, where direct access to adjacent properties has been eliminated. ...

Le parachèvement de l'autoroute 25 - Un projet vital pour la région métropolitaine (797 words)
Selon le ministère des Transports du Québec, le parachèvement de l'autoroute 25 permettrait de réduire de plus de 43 000 km la distance parcourue chaque matin par les automobilistes montréalais, tout en réduisant de plus de 10 000 heures le temps d'attente matinale des automobilistes de la région.
De façon générale, le parachèvement de la 25 permettrait de compléter le réseau de transport métropolitain tel qu'il avait été envisagé à l'origine et de lui assurer la continuité qui lui fait présentement défaut dans l'axe nord-sud.
Conjugué au prolongement de l'autoroute 30 sur la Rive-Sud, le parachèvement de la 25 permettrait ainsi de doter Montréal d'une véritable voie de contournement, comme cela existe dans la plupart des grandes métropoles.
Quebec City - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (3310 words)
Quebec City is known for its Winter Carnival and the Château Frontenac, an historic hotel which dominates the city skyline.
In mid-2001, 13.0% of the resident population in Quebec City was of retirement age (65 and over for males and females) compared with 13.2% in Canada; therefore, the average age is 39.5 years of age compared to 37.6 years of age for Canada as a whole.
Quebec City is expected to be in competition with Moncton and Halifax for the franchise, though a new stadium would likely be needed as well.
