Sherbrooke is the far end of the Autoroute 10 run through the Eastern Townships, and most of our journeys there pick up or drop off along the way — Bromont, Magog, Orford.
It is university and hospital traffic as much as corporate, and a large share is families and visiting academics arriving through YUL.
We cover Sherbrooke and the surrounding Townships including Magog, Orford, North Hatley and Lennoxville.

The route
The drive, in detail.
Over the Champlain bridge and east on the A-10, the Autoroute des Cantons-de-l’Est, past Bromont, Magog and Orford, then the A-410 into Sherbrooke. About 150 km and an hour and three quarters when the bridge behaves. It is an easy road in good weather and a different one in January.
What changes it
- The Champlain bridgeEverything about the timing of this trip is decided in the first ten kilometres. At rush hour the bridge can cost more than the rest of the drive.
- Ski FridaysFrom January the A-10 fills with traffic bound for Bromont and Orford. Southbound Friday afternoon, northbound Sunday afternoon.
- Early OctoberFoliage weekends put more cars on that highway than the ski season does, and the slow ones are sightseeing.
- Winter in the hillsThe Townships get weather the island does not. Snow that is rain in Montréal is snow from Granby onward.
