'''Trois-Rivières''' is an historic city of [[Canada]] and the third biggest city of [[Quebec]] in term of population ([[Laval]], Metropolitan Montreal's suburb excluded]]. It is located at halfway between [[Quebec city]] and [[Montreal]] on the North shore of the St-Lawrence and create a natural cuts on the journey as highway [[Quebec highways|A-40 ]] goes directly through its centre and it is also the only possible crossing point between [[Quebec city]] and [[Montreal]] to pass on either side of the St-Lawrence river, this is possible by crossing the 'Pont Laviolette' on highway [[Quebec highways|A-55]].
Being a important centre along the way, many people might either stop here during the journey either to have a lunch or simply because it is their destination. It is therefore important to pay attention to be left at a decent spot depending of the direction you're heading at. Trois-Rivières is also the crossroad between [[Quebec highways|A-40 ]] (Quebec - Montreal) and [[Quebec highways|A-55 ]] (Sherbrooke - Lac-St-Jean), but the major highway project for the city has never been completed and therefore [[Quebec highways|A-40 ]] is incompleted while crossing this city. Every traveller must then take [[Quebec highways|A-55 ]] for about 6km before heading again East-West, this is an important element to take in consideration about where to get left.
