, connecting Autoroute 55
and Autoroute 10
to Route 112
.
It was originally part of Autoroute 10
. On September 29, 2006, the Ministère des Transports du Québec announced its decision to assign a new number to this portion of Autoroute 10, claiming that it is more consistent with the Quebec road numbering plan, and that it would benefit motorists by helping them to orient themselves.
