Quebec Route 2


Route 2 was a previous number used for a major highway in the Canadian province of Quebec. The highway stretched from the Ontario border at Rivière-Beaudette to the New Brunswick border southeast of Dégelis. The highway was part of a de facto interprovincial Route 2 that stretched from Windsor, Ontario to Halifax, Nova Scotia, connecting Ontario Highway 2 to New Brunswick Route 2, and further to Nova Scotia, connecting with Trunk 2. It was renumbered in the mid-1970s, as part of Quebec's renumbering scheme.

Auxiliary routes

It ran along Côte-de-Liesse Road from the former Route 2 / Route 17 concurrency in Dorval, past the Montreal–Dorval International Airport, to a traffic circle in Saint-Laurent where it met Laurentien Boulevard and Décarie Boulevard. The route was replaced by Autoroute 520 and its former eastern terminus is now the site of the Décarie Interchange.
