Quebec Route 2
# 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.

## Replacement routes

Route 2 was replaced by the following routes:

| Route | Length (km) | Length (mi) | From | To | Notes |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| R-338 | 41 | 25 | Ontario border at Rivière-Beaudette | Vaudreuil-Dorion | Connects with Ontario border today with SD&G County Road 2, formerly Ontario Highway 2 |
| A-20 | 33 | 21 | Vaudreuil-Dorion | Montreal | During the 1960s until being renumbered, Route 2 and the A-20 ran concurrently; this stretch was referred to by Anglophone Montrealers as Highway 2-20 (or "The Two and Twenty"). |

## Auxiliary routes

Route 2 had three auxiliary routes.

### Route 2A

Route 2A was a 52 km (32 mi) alternate route of Route 2, passing through the communities of Saint-Pacôme and Saint-Pascal. As part of Quebec's renumbering scheme, Route 2A became part of Route 230.

### Route 2B

Route 2B was a 10 km (6 mi) spur of Route 2. 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 (Route 8 / Route 11A). The route was replaced by Autoroute 520 and its former eastern terminus is now the site of the Décarie Interchange.

### Route 2C

Route 2C was a 14 km (9 mi) spur of Route 2 which ran along Boulevard Wilfrid-Hamel in Quebec City from Route 2 on the city's western edge to downtown. As part of Quebec's renumbering scheme, Route 2C became part of Route 138.
