Autoroute 35 (or A-35, also called Autoroute de la Vallée-des-Forts) is a north-south Autoroute in southern Quebec. It currently runs from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (where it continues as two-lane Route 133 into Vermont) to Autoroute 10 in Chambly. A-35 is currently 19.2 km (11.9 miles) long, however extensions are planned both north and southward, to provide a direct freeway connection to Interstate 89 and bypass east of the Greater Montreal Area.

First constructed in the late 1960s, A-35 is currently a 4-lane stub freeway linking Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to A-10. However, a planned southern extension [ [http://www1.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/fr/regions/monteregie_ouest/a35.asp] ] will finish the connection to I-89 and allow for a direct freeway route between Montreal and New England, bypassing the mostly 2-lane (and sometimes treacherous) Route 133. (The southernmost part of Route 133 is already a 4-lane at-grade expressway and the rest of the route is on a new alignment) Once this connection is complete, the length will increase to 55 km (34 miles).

Exit list

Interchanges are listed from south to north.

Proposed interchanges

Exits are listed from south to north. Exit numbers are based on the distance from the future southern terminus of A-35 at the Canada-United States border. Since the exit numbers currently start at 1 on the current section, they will all have to be changed (likely increased by 37) once this southern section is constructed.
