Saturday field trip to Dundee - Driving instruction changes

There is a change that should be noted for the driving instructions as a result of the completion of the new Autoroute 30. This will be beneficial to people traveling either across the Mercier Bridge or for those in the West Island who would have used the Langlois Bridge through Valleyfield.

If you are crossing Mercier Bridge, you should now go left off the Mercier Bridge and along Highway 132 to Autoroute 30/730. Turn right on to Autoroute 30/730 and follow it all the way to the last exit before the new toll bridge which is Exit #22 for St-Etienne-de-Beauharnois for Highway 236. Turn right on
to Highway 236 and follow it through St-Étienne-de-Beauharnois, St-Louis-de-Gonzague, and St-Stanislas-de-Kostka until it meets up with Hwy 132. Turn left on to Hwy 132 west and travel through Ste-Barbe, St-Anicet and Cazaville. Continue past Cazaville approximately more 8 km on Hwy 132 until you reach chemin-de-le-Pointe-Fraser in Dundee. (There is a sign for the reserve at the corner of Highway 132 and Pointe-Fraser. Turn right on this road and meet at the visitor centre parking lot about 1 km along on the left.

If you are coming from the West Island, the new Autoroute 30 from St-Lazare across to the South Shore is an excellent choice. Note that there is a $1.50 toll charge on this new bridge. Take Autoroute 30 across the river and take Exit #22 for St-Etienne-de-Beauharnois - Highway 236. From this exit, the instructions are the same as above, that is, turn right on to Highway 236 and follow it through St-Étienne-de-Beauharnois, St-Louis-de-Gonzague, and St-Stanislas-de-Kostka until it meets up with Hwy 132. Turn left on to Hwy 132 west and travel through Ste-Barbe, St-Anicet and Cazaville. Continue past Cazaville approximately more 8 km on Hwy 132 until you reach chemin-de-le-Pointe-Fraser in Dundee. (There is a sign for the reserve at the corner of Highway 132 and Pointe-Fraser. Turn right on this road and meet at the visitor centre parking lot about 1 km along on the left.

For anyone living on the South Shore planning on attending, basically get yourself Highway 132 to Autoroute 30 and follow the instructions above from the St-Etienne-de-Beauharnois exit #22 off Autoroute 30 to your destination.
