Autoroute 440 (or A-440, also known as Autoroute Jean-Noël-Lavoie and previously as Autoroute Laval) is a provincial highway that runs across the city of Laval, Quebec from Autoroute 13 to Autoroute 25. It is currently {{convert|18.2|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} long and proceeds across Île Jésus on an east–west axis. It links every highway or expressway that connects Montreal to the North Shore.

Originally, it was supposed to have continued west in the Avenue des Bois corridor and crossed Rivière des Prairies on Bigras and Bizard Islands. On the latter island, the right-of-way is actually a public park. On the Island of Montreal, the A-440 right-of-way is just west of Boulevard Château-Pierrefonds. The autoroute would have ended at the Chemin Sainte-Marie interchange (Exit 49), on Autoroute 40.

History

A-440 was built over the following timeline:

class="wikitable" ! From \| Exit ! To \| Exit ! Date
Route 117	19	A-15/TCH	22	1974
A-13	17	Route 117	19	1975
A-15/TCH	22	Route 335	25	1975
Route 335	25	A-19	27	1976
A-19	27	A-25 South (now Route 125 South)	34	1979
Route 125 South, (former A-25 South)	34	New A-25 South (existing autoroute renumbered)	16 (A-25)	2011

Note: Only service roads were originally built from A-13 to Boulevard Industriel (Exit 24), but they were signed as Autoroute 440 until the autoroute was completed in 1994.

Exit list

The entire route is in Laval. The exit numbers do not correspond with the km marker because the highway is never fully completed.
