Quebec - highways 10 and 55

Thanks for the input.:C

I have no idea why Quebec road builders cannot figure out how to build expansion joints like the rest of the provinces and states around us. It can be bone jarring at times. :E

Eric - the roads were fine in both directions. There looked to be a bad stretch on 10, both directions closer to 55, where the road surface looks different but it was still OK. The biggest problem was the expansion joints on bridges but that is always the case! Much improved since our last trip.

If I may suggest, cross into the US at either Ogdensburg or Cornwall and take 11 into VT. Then work your way over to Woodstock, NH. You’ll go through the Indian Reservation between Malone and Ellenburg, NY where you can gas up cheap. Also the only toll you’ll encounter is at the crossing, $8.00 last year.
Last summer we were in the Detroit area visiting our daughter then move on to VT and NH through Canada to visit our relatives. I was born and raised in Berlin, NH.
We went that route to Gorham, NH, beautiful country and the roads were very navigable with our 36” 5th wheel. Stayed at the White Birch Campground in Shelburne.

Thanks for the replies - I'm glad to hear the roads have been redone. And we are taking the A30.

Our destination is Woodstock, NH, and it is shorter for us to stay in Canada. As Tripalot stated, the tolls are a killer for a 5th wheel as they charge us for height! And the Interstate dips quite a bit south before we head north into New Hampshire. I would take the Interstate if we were staying in southern New Hampshire!

If you do take the new bridge on Autoroute 30, it is a good route and 10 is no problem.

I'm not convinced it is shorter + the tolls on the NY thruway are a killer. Gas in definitely cheaper though.

Both the 10 and most of the 55 had been redone and are good. I haven't been on them for over a year now but when I did, they were still working on the 55; I would imagine it is fine now.

Let me know how you find them, I'm heading down there in September.
