Autoroute 410 (or A-410) is a short peri-urban multilane highway in Sherbrooke, Quebec. It is currently a branch from Autoroute 10 (Autoroute des Cantons-de-l'Est) to the Mont-Bellevue/Ascot district. Its future terminus will be east of Lennoxville. The road was named for In , the former mayor of Sherbrooke and president of the Commission municipale du Québec, in March 2007. Before then, the road was known as the Autoroute University.
History[]
The initial segment was opened from A-10 to Boulevard Bourque (Route 112) in 1971 as a two-lane freeway. The route was opened to Boulevard de l'Université in 1978, and the entire A-410 became a 4-lane divided highway in 1981.
In May 2009, work started on Phase 1 of the A-410 extension to Lennoxville. An interchange was built over Boulevard de l'Université, another over Belvédère Street, south of Mont-Bellevue and the last one at R-108/R-143 south of Lennoxville. The project was expected to be completed in 2014.[2] Due to delays, the Belvédère Street interchange was opened in November 2014, with the 108/143 interchange opened in November 2015.[3]
Construction of Phase 2, which started in summer 2018 and opened to traffic in December 2020, bypasses Lennoxville, with a bridge built over the Massawippi river and culminating at R-108 near Glenday Road, Alexander Galt Regional High School and the Dairy and Swine Research and Development Centre.[4] This phase completes the southern bypass road for Sherbrooke, mirroring the role of A-610 as northern bypass.
