Taschereau Boulevard is a major suburban boulevard located on the south shore of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is a section of Quebec Route 134 and runs from Longueuil to Candiac (junction of Autoroute 15). It is named after the prominent Quebec family, which included former premier Louis-Alexandre Taschereau. At {{convert|17.5|km|mi|abbr=on}}, it is one of the longest commercial arteries in Canada. It serves the heart of an area with an estimated population of 400,000.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}

Between its approach near the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and the Quebec Route 112 and Quebec Route 116 expressway, which links Longueuil with the Saint-Hubert and Saint-Bruno sectors, Route 134 is a six-lane expressway with interchanges to local areas within Longueuil and LeMoyne. In some sections, it is designed as a right-in/right-out expressway with at-grade intersections on the municipality-maintained (usually right) line to local streets from one side of the highway.{{cite web |url=http://webfil_92.tripod.com/autoroutes_en/id91.html |title=Focus Page : Taschereau Boulevard (R-134)|accessdate=2009-08-21 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060526083442/http://webfil_92.tripod.com/autoroutes_en/id91.html |archivedate=2006-05-26}}

==Taschereau Interchange==

At the intersection of Taschereau Boulevard and Autoroute 10 ({{Coord|45.464917|N|73.466134|W|type:landmark}}), a construction project was undertaken in 2002 to reorganize the entry and exit ramps. This project is planned to continue well into 2008.{{Update after|2010|11|13}} This project also intends to allow the traffic to pass through the centre of the interchange, to reduce noise pollution through sound barriers, to allow a bus lane (and later a light railway transit system) to access RTL bus terminals without affecting highway or road traffic.[http://www.genivar.com/en/realisations/realisation.asp?noRealisations=738&noCompetences=2 GENIVAR: Taschereau Interchange - Highway 10, Brossard]
