Quebec Autoroute 955
Encyclopedia
Autoroute 955 is a short 14.7km two-lane highway which links Autoroute 20
in Sainte-Eulalie
with Saint-Albert
.
This short section of Autoroute was destined to become part of a much longer section of freeway, as Autoroute 55
was supposed to follow this route south towards Warwick
and Richmond
, as opposed to its current configuration through Drummondville
; however, this was never completed, but the short route still remains. The route has a posted 100 km/h speed limit despite at-grade four-way stop intersections such as Route 122
.
Its current northern interchange with Autoroute 20
also connects it to parent route Autoroute 55
, which was extended south to A-20 in October 2006.
