The Route 440

Route 440 serves Québec midtown.
It is cut in two pieces by St-Roch and Limoilou areas.
Both Charest and Dufferin-Montmorency Autoroutes would have been connected
by a tunnel wich was never built (note the ghost ramps on the picture below).
Dufferin-Montmorency autoroute runs so close to the St. Lawrence river (Beauport bluffs)
that building interchange at François-de-Laval was impossible. MTQ raised traffic lights instead.

Years in service : 1962 - present
Location : Québec city, Capitale-Nationale region.
Western terminus : Aut. Henri-IV (A-73) (Québec Arr. Ste-Foy-Sillery III) (km 12)
Eastern terminus : Autoroute Félix-Leclerc (A-40) (Québec Arr. Beauport V) (km 29)



"...the world does not run
or at least not as
you want
as we said avevan
when he was a good idea
you that you are what you are
that never changes
promise that there will always be a place
keep that hot for me

to what
all roads lead to you
leaves and rain
take the sun's
to what
all roads lead to you
we can not go wrong
take as long as there is..."
(Luciano Ligabue)

Da una canzone di Luciano Ligabue.

"...il mondo non gira
o almeno non come
volevi tu
come ci avevan detto
quando era buona un idea
tu che sei ciò che sei
che non cambierai mai
promettimi che ci sarà sempre un posto
che tieni caldo per me

fino a che
tutte le strade portano a te
lascia che piova pure
prendiamo il sole che c’è
fino a che
tutte le strade portano a te
non ci si può sbagliare
prendiamo il tempo che c’è..."


Have a good route to everybody!
