Quebec Autoroute 50

Quebec Autoroute 50

Autoroute 50 (Autoroute de l'Outaouais) is an Autoroute in western Quebec. Now completed, it links the Outaouais region to the Greater Montreal area.

Until November 2012, there were two distinct sections of A-50: one section running eastward from Hull and the other westward from Mirabel. The gap in the highway was filled on November 26th 2012 and the two-lane freeway opened for traffic on the full 159 km (98.8 mi) length.

The route provides a freeway alternative to Route 148 that does not require crossing into Ontario, unlike the main Trans-Canada Highway route (A-40 / 417) from metropolitan Montreal.
