Passing Through Montreal

[Canadian FJR]

Looking for some input the quickest route through Montreal. Here are two riders doing a TCG ride.

If it were me, I'd drop below Montreal on the newly completed 30 and then jump back on the 40 in order to miss all the construction/detours. Any thoughts?

Rte 30 below Montreal freaking rocks! There's a $1.50 toll.

Links don't appear to be fully formed, but having scooted through town recently the fastest I remember of the three times I've been through....this time was the fastest. I rode 10 west through Broussard where it got a little tight, it did some sort of 10/15/20 transition on the south end of town with a loopy 270 degree thing, and once to Saint Pierre on 20 it was free-flowing again. Thinking ahead of lane position helped and I only had to weasel my way in front of a car once.

I stayed on 20 because I was headed past Cornwall.

Links are now working.

+1 on Hwy 30. You can pay a toll if you're so inclined, or get off on Monsigneur Langlois, quick zip through Valleyfield (watch for cops as you roll through town, speed traps are common), over the Mgr Langlois bridge and connect to the 401 toward Cornwall.

Go north from Cornwall toward Ottawa and then re-connect with the 417.
