History
This section needs additional citations for verification. (July 2023) |
The first section of Highway 610 was opened to traffic in 1988 as an extension of the A-10. The eastern part (east of Exit 7, formerly Exit 150), opened in 1992, is a
two-lane freeway. Original plans for the A-10 called for it to continue east to Thetford Mines, but this section was never built. On 29 September 2006, Transports Québec announced plans to redesignate the section of A-10 east of the A-55 as Autoroute 610. The MTQ's rationale was that the new route number is more consistent with the Quebec road numbering plan and would be less confusing to motorists travelling through and beyond the region.[3] As a result, Autoroute 10 (multiplexed
with the A-55 east of km 121) reaches its terminus at the interchange with A-610.
In January 2008, A-610 was renamed in honour of Louis Bilodeau , a longtime broadcaster on CHLT-TV.
