|
Western Terminus: A-1320 interchange in western Montreal, immediately east of Trudeau (Dorval Airport). Eastern Terminus: A-640 interchange in Broisbriand Routing: A-440 begins its trek through the heart of Laval at the Autoroute 13 cloverleaf interchange. A-440 progresses easterly crossing Autoroute des Laurentides (A-15), A-19 and Boul. Pie-IX before terminating at a brand new interchange with A-25. While it hasn't been (and may never be) constructed, a western extension of A-440 was proposed to extend westerly from A-13 crossing Rivière des Prairies and meeting A-40 in Beaconsfield. While such an extension is unlikely given the MTQ's preference for the completion of A-30 to by-pass Montreal, the western extension of A-440 would serve as a very useful northern alternate to Autoroute Metropolitaine through Montreal.

Overhead signage for the ramp to Autoroute 15 (Autoroute des Laurentides) from A-440 Westbound. Autoroute 15 intersects with Autoroute 440 via a large cloverleaf interchange. It is amazing given the importance of both Autoroute 15 and Autoroute 440 that they still intersect with one another via a cloverleaf intersection. Numerous Autoroute junctions in the Province of Quebec are still managed with cloverleaf's. |

Advanced signage for the Boulevard des Laurentides exit. Boulevard des Laurentides is designated as Route 335 south of A-440. Route 335 also continues north of A-440 following the future alignment of an extended A-19 between A-440 and A-640. Before this initial stage of Autoroute 19 was constructed, Route 335 continued north of A-440 following Boulevard des Laurentides. Presumably, once A-19 is completed north of A-440, Route 335 will be re-routed back to the Boul. des Laurentides alignment. |

Signage at the eastbound off-ramp to Boul. des Laurentides. An eastbound frontage road begins at this off-ramp, however unlike most Montreal area frontage roads, traffic must progress through the traffic signal at the ramp terminal at Boul. des Laurentides before continuing unimpeded easterly alongside A-440. |

Westbound advanced sign for the Autoroute 19 interchange. As of 2010 --when this photo was taken, and this caption was written -- Autoroute 440 marked the northern terminus of Autoroute 19. During 2010, the Province of Quebec announced that construction would commence in 2014 to extend A-19 northerly to just north of A-640. The new highway would be completed by 2015. |
