Autoroute 70, or A-70, is a short Autoroute located in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of northern Quebec. It is the only Autoroute that does not connect to any other Autoroutes, although other Autoroutes have discontiguous segments (such as A-20 and A-30). A-70 was first created in 1983, and has since been extended three times.
A-70 is 31.56 km (19.6 mi) long at present, however extensions are being proposed in both directions. A-70 is only partially completed; it acts primarily as a bypass route around the urban area of Saguenay. The route was slow to develop; until 2001 it was an extremely short stub, fewer than 6 km (3.7 mi) long.
A-70 will be extended westward to Alma and eastward to La Baie. A new alignment has already been determined for the westernmost section of A-70. The proposed route for the eastern section has also been determined and 7.29 km (4.5 mi) of it has been built – from the former eastern terminus of the original A-70 to the Saguenay-Bagotville Airport.
The ultimate length of A-70 will be around 72 km (44.7 mi).
