As no single provincial highway crosses the entire province between Ontario and New Brunswick, the main Trans-Canada route follows (from east to west) Autoroutes 40, 25, 20 and 85; with A-85 being interspersed with Route 185 as construction to upgrade the latter to autoroute standards progresses.

First constructed in the 1960s, A-35 is currently a 40 km (25 mi) long, 4-lane spur route linking Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to Autoroute 10. By 1966, 16 km (10 mi) connecting the A-10 in Chambly with Route 104 in Iberville were opened to traffic. Another 3 km (2 mi) of A-35 from Route 104 to its terminus with Route 133 were completed in 1967.
