Best directions to Mt Tremblant

Post by brucesallen » Fri Aug 01, 2008 2:48 pm

This route is the one I use from East Kingston, NH- goes up RT 89 in Vermont. It avoids downtown Montreal and RT15. It also crossed the border at a small little used point. Returning via RT 87 will take 30 seconds instead of the sometimes hours at the pissey RT 87 US border guard station.

Is this route taken mainly to avoid the major highways border crossings?

It must be, since that is not the most direct and quickest route IMO.
I don't understand getting off 89 to side roads, since you are still picking up 15 N for the trip through Montreal.

I think the main objective is to avoid the downtown section of routes 10/20/15 right after the Champlain Bridge. That can get real ugly, although I expect it should be OK on a Sunday (in theory!).

I'll be heading up a bit later on Sunday, leaving northern MA around 11am as I'm sticking around to watch the Hungarian GP. :-)

Cheers,
Mike

No. Rt 15 through Montreal I have found to often cause hours of delay-- even in the middle of the day. This route will avoid the congested bridge and take RT 13. No traffic. Especially important coming home.

The secondary purpose is to avoid the US customs on RT 87/15 coming home if you have already bypasses RT 15 by going RT 13. Last year was hours.

No traffic,no delays...sounds very tempting.Seems a bit left/right/left once you get into Montreal,however many times when running around Worcester,I find the less direct route is usually faster and uncongested.Decisions,decisions... :?

this is a good route to avoid traffic delays caused by roadwork on the #720 (heads downtown) where it intersects the #15. There are lane closures.
It was a bitch during the week, so even if weekend traffic is lighter, they may decide to close more lanes.

The only caveat is that our Pont Mercier is a bit rough with lots of patches

mr2sc,seeing as you are a local,which route would you take traversing Quebec from the south on a Sunday afternoon and then coming from the west on wed morning?
Or does it not make much difference, and it is purely a matter of luck as to which way may be less congested?

What is considered a bit rough? 2" potholes? :shock:

Thanks in advance!

Ha! you are being too nice about Pont Mercier... It's a cheese grater. I lived in Lachine for many years and passed by the bridge many times and that thing is like 'several holes full of road" :shock:

Folks, it's Sunday... people come BACK to Montreal while we are passing thru are GOING to where most CAME from.

It should be OK. Stick to what you know and stay on major highways (especially if you are towing) and you'll be fine.
Safe travels.
Speaking of towing please be sure to torque your trailer's lugnuts!
