Quebec Autoroute 10

Encyclopedia : Q : QU : QUE : Quebec Autoroute 10

A-10 was originally signed as the Autoroute des Cantons-de-l'Est.

Autoroute 10 (also called Autoroute Bonaventure in Montreal and Autoroute des Cantons-de-l'Est) is an Autoroute in southern Quebec. It is the main route to the Estrie region of Quebec, particularly to the Sherbrooke area. A-10 is currently 158 km (98 miles) long.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}

A-10 begins at Autoroute 720 (Autoroute Ville-Marie) as the Southbound continuation of University Street in downtown Montreal, but immediately elevates above ground. A-10 then joins Autoroute 15 and Autoroute 20 in a three-route concurrency across the Champlain Bridge, but quickly branches to its own route until it joins up with Autoroute 55 in Magog.

After leaving A-55, A-10 runs its own route again on a short stub before an abrupt end at Route 112 in the easternmost part of Sherbrooke; the last 3 km (2 miles) are a two-lane freeway. The rest of A-10 is a 4-lane (or wider) freeway.

Until 1985, the entire route east of Montreal was a toll road.
