Changes

In [[Montreal]], the A-40 runs in the northern part of the island and is known as 'Autoroute Metropolitaine' before reaching the North Bank at the 'Charles-De-Gaulle Bridge' in Repentigny. In the metropolitan area, the highway include two periphical branch meant to avoid the urban traffic and facilitate the transport towards the northern regions. From Repentigny, the A-440 and the A-440 aim to by-pass [[Montreal]] Island, the A-440 goes directly and finishes into [[Laval]] while the A-640 follows the North Bank before finishing in the surrounding of Oka.

In [[Trois-Rivières]], the by-pass highway project has never been built. Therefore, the highway runs directly into downtown and requires that you change into the A-55 on the western part of the city. While the west southern downtown junction between the A-40 and A-55 would be a hitching disaster (therefore do not hitch along the highway there!), the northern junction (leading to Montreal westbound) would even enable you to hitch directly on the highway viaduc. The distance to travel on the A-55 is about 4km in term of Canadian distance its short enough to usually have a driver do the detour to drop you there.
