The A-20 is part of the [[Trans-Canada Highway|Transcanadian Highway]] in nearly all of its length with exception of the part West of [[Montreal]].

=== Section West - [[Ontario]] border ~~and~~ [[Montreal Metropolitan]] ===

==== In [[Monteregie]] and [[Montreal Metropolitan]] ====

While in [[Montreal]] and [[Montreal Metropolitan]] leaving the area, the A-20 connects on [[Monteregie]] Island with the [[A-40 (Quebec)|A-40]] by taking either the [[A-13 (Quebec)|A-13]] - [[A-15 (Quebec)|A-15]] or [[A-25 (Quebec)|A-25]] northwards for a few km. Around the International Airport of [[Dorval Airport|Dorval]], the ''Autoroute Cote de Liesse'' (A-520) act as a connector between the A-20, the international airport and the [[A-40 (Quebec)|A-40]].

It also crosses the path of other major highways such as the [[A-10 (Quebec)|A-10]] towards the [[Estrie]] Townships and the [[A-30 (Quebec)|A-30]] which act as a By-Pass to the Southern [[Montreal Metropolitan]] ''(In Construction)''. The A-20 crosses officially the St-Lawrence onto [[Montreal]] on the 'Pont Champlain' together with the A-10 and the A-15. Although the 'Lafontaine Tunnel' marks the end of the [[A-25 (Quebec)|A-25]] to become the A-20 Westbound and the 'Pont Jacques-Cartier' as well as the 'Pont Victoria' goes direct from the A-20 on the St-Lawrence South Shore to downtown [[Montreal]].

=== Section Centre - [[Montreal Metropolitan]] to [[Quebec city|Quebec City Area]] ===

==== In [[Montérégie]], [[Centre-du-Québec]] and [[Chaudière-Appalaches]] ====

From [[Montreal Metropolitan]] South shore, the A-20 heads eastwards crossing many localities of this vast farmland region. It reaches the junction of the [[A-55 (Quebec)|A-55]] (coming from the South ([[Sherbrooke]]) at Junction 173) just west of [[Drummondville]]. The A-55 and A-20 overlap on the same infrastructure for about 30km before it heads back north towards [[Trois-Rivières]] from Junction 210.

* '''(98) {{junction}} Junction [[A-30 (Quebec)|A-30]]''' (A-30 to A-10 – St-Hubert Airport, Brossard, [[Sorel|Sorel-Tracy]], Châteauguay, [[United States of America|USA]])

=== Section East - [[Quebec city|Quebec City Area]] towards [[New Brunswick]] ===

==== In [[Chaudière-Appalaches]] and [[Bas-St-Laurent]] ====

The A-20 does not get into [[Quebec city]] but instead goes along its St-Lawrence southern shore sister city [[Levis]]. Just west in the vicnity of [[Levis]] there are major off the motorway services with restaurants at Exit 311 and Exit 314. Note that Exit 312 is the motorway junction with the [[A-73 (Quebec)|A-73]] to cross the St-Lawrence north into [[Quebec city]] ''(through Pierre-Laporte bridge or alternatively through Quebec bridge)'' or south towards [[Maine]]. Bear in mind that Exit 314 also leads to 'Quebec Bridge' which can be crossed by foot.
