Route description
The autoroute begins on the border to the western neighboring province of Ontario and continues on Highway 417 there, making it part of the Trans-Canada Highway. Like all autoroutes in Québec, this one is developed like a motorway. The car route runs south of the Ottawa River to Vaudreuil-Dorion . There, the Autoroute 40 meets the Autoroute 540 , which represents a connection to the Autoroute 20 . The Autoroute 40 leads with the Pont de l'Île aux Tourtes over the Lac des Deux Montagnes and comes to the metropolis of Montréal .
The road runs north of Montréal-Trudeau airport , east of the airport intersects Autoroute 13 . In the Saint-Laurent district, Autoroute 15 meets 40 and runs together for 4 km. In the district of Anjou, Autoroute 25 crosses , which from this section takes on the designation as Trans-Canada Highway heading east. The route is now based on the course of the St. Lawrence River and runs parallel to its northern bank. Autoroute 55 crosses in Trois-Rivières and has a common route for 3.5 km. The car route continues to the northeast and arrives in the provincial capital Québec . This is bypassed in a north-westerly direction, and when you arrive at the St. Lawrence River, the route ends.
