Quebec Autoroute 85

Quebec Autoroute 85

Autoroute 85 is a highway in Quebec that is the connecting link between Rivière-du-Loup and the Quebec-New Brunswick border. It currently intertwines with Route 185, but with new sections of the 185 being upgraded to autoroute standards, this is slowly changing. The main reason for this long needed upgrade is due in part of Route 185, which is infamously known as one of the deadliest roads in Canada and Quebec.

Indeed, although Autoroute 85 is part of the Trans-Canada Highway, it is considered as a North/South axis by Transport Quebec because it runs perpendicular to the Saint Lawrence River.
