Western Terminus: R-148 interchange in Downtown Hull. Eastern Terminus: R-117 interchange southeast of St. Jerome. Routing: A-50 starts its trek through the the Ottawa Valley at the Boulevard Alummettiers interchange complex in Downtown Hull (Gatineau). A-50 progresses northerly through Hull, then turns easterly through Suburban Gatineau. A Northerly By-pass of Gatineau, Autoroute 550, was proposed to intersect with A-50 where the freeway turns easterly northeast of Downtown. A-550 would have linked to A-5 through Gatineau Park. A-50 continues along the north side of the Ottawa Valley around the southeast of Buckingham where it narrows to a Super-2. A-50 continues as a Super-2 through to Lachute, where it briefly widens to a four-lane freeway where it by-passes the small community. East of Highway 329, A-50 narrows back to a two-lane highway. Between Lachute and Aeroport Mirabel, the highway crosses two railways at-grade, and has two minor at-grade intersections. At Mirabel Airport, A-50 widens to a four lane freeway, maintaining this four lane cross-section easterly until it terminates at A-15 and R-117. The western-most interchange of A-50 in Hull is numbered 134. When originally conceived, A-50 was envisioned to continue westerly by-passing Highway 148 all the way to Pembroke Ontario. Such an extension is very unlikely to ever be realised. Links:
