Encyclopedia
Autoroute 410 is a short urban multilane highway in Sherbrooke, Quebec
. It is currently a branch from Autoroute 10
(Autoroute des Cantons-de-l'Est) to the Université de Sherbrooke
district. Its future terminus will be east of Lennoxville
.
Autoroute 410 is 5.4 km (3.4 mi) in length. 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 March 2007, A-410 was renamed after Jacques O'Bready, the former mayor of Sherbrooke and president of the Commission Municipale du Québec.
In May 2009, work started on Phase 1 of the A-410 extension to Lennoxville
. An interchange will be 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 is expected to be completed in 2014.
Phase 2 will bypass 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. This phase will complete the southern bypass road for Sherbrooke, mirroring the role of A-610
as northern bypass.
