Autoroute20

It passes through or near many of Quebec's largest urban centers, including Montreal and Quebec City, and is a critical component of the region's infrastructure. The highway is characterized by its multi-lane design and controlled access, allowing for high-speed travel. Construction and upgrades to Autoroute20 have occurred over many decades, reflecting its ongoing importance. It is managed by Transports Québec.
