Driving Through Montreal to New Brunswick
Here is my route planned through the Montreal, QC area:
Take exit number 29 on your LEFT to get on AUT-540 N towards AUT-540 / AÉROPORT MIRABEL / AUT-40 / OTTAWA / GATINEAU / MONTRÉAL. Drive for 5 kilometers. * Go STRAIGHT on AUT-40 E. Drive for 46.6 kilometers. *Take exit number 80-S on your RIGHT to get on AUT-25 S towards AUT-25 S / AUTOROUTE TRANSCANADIENNE / AUT-20 / TUNNEL L.-H.-LA FONTAINE. Drive for 8.3 kilometers. AUT-25 S becomes AUT-20 E. Drive for 404.8 kilometers. Take exit number 499 to get on AUT-85 S towards AUT-85 / ROUTE TRANSCANADIENNE / RTE-185 / NOTRE-DAME-DU-LAC / EDMUNDSTON N.-B. / CABANO / DÉGELIS. Drive for 13.2 kilometers. First question is this the correct route, first time doing this. Second question is what is the best time to no run into Montreal traffic/rush hour periods. |
That's the route I've taken a number of times. Can't speak to where there's construction since last time, though. That's always a wild card.
(Last time I went to Nova Scotia I took that route and did some research along the way! http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...2-a-21152.html ) If you're passing through on a weekday, I would aim to avoid 6-9 AM local or 3-6 PM (ish). Also, if you're not pressed for time, I would HIGHLY recommend getting off the #20, and heading up to the "old highway" #132 that runs along the south shore of the St Lawrence River east of Trois Rivieres. It's a wonderful scenic route: river views, through the old towns, local architecture & old buildings that tickle the eyeballs, nice relaxed pace. Even if you don't want to drive the entire distance on that old route to #85, do at least some of it. |
Thanks for the great info, will keep the scenic route in mind.
