'''Autoroute 40''' (also called '''Autoroute Felix-Leclerc''' and '''Autoroute Métropolitaine''' in [[Montreal, Quebec|Montreal]]) is a long and important [[Autoroute (Quebec)|Autoroute]] on the north shore of the [[St. Lawrence River]] in [[Quebec]]. It is the more direct of the two main [[freeway]] connections between Montreal and [[Quebec City, Quebec|Quebec City]] (the other being [[Quebec Autoroute 20|A-20]] on the south shore of the St. Lawrence). A-40 is currently 347 km (216 miles) long.


I will use the sandbox in future.
A-40 begins at the [[Ontario]]-Quebec border where it continues as [[Ontario provincial highway 417|Highway 417]] towards [[Ottawa, Ontario|Ottawa]], and ends in [[Saint-Jean-de-Boischatel, Quebec|Saint-Jean-de-Boischatel]] where it transitions into [[Quebec provincial highway 138|Route 138]] at the end of the freeway.

Two sections of A-40 were not part of the original plans: The original intention was to bypass [[Trois-Rivières, Quebec|Trois-Rivières]] to the north (the existing A-40 through downtown would have been '''Autoroute 755''' and the multiplex with [[Quebec Autoroute 55|Autoroute 55]] would have only been A-55). In addition, a different route was originally planned around [[Sainte-Foy, Quebec|Sainte-Foy]] (now in the west end of Quebec City) north of [[Québec/Jean Lesage International Airport|Jean Lesage International Airport]] (the existing A-40 would have been the western end of '''Ville de Quebec autoroute 440'''. The right-of-ways of both bypasses still exist and may still be developed in the future as congestion increases, however there are no immediate plans to resurrect the construction.

Some discussion of eastward extensions of A-40 into the [[Charlevoix, Quebec|Charlevoix]] region and beyond have taken place, most likely to Route 360 in [[Beaupre, Quebec|Beaupre]] or even as far as Route 362 in [[La Malbaie, Quebec|La Malbaie]] since Tourism in the region is increasing however that appears to be a long way off.

Autoroute 40 is one portion of the [[Trans-Canada Highway]].
