Camilien-Houde Way / Rememberence Drive:
This Montreal road is a parkway that crosses “The Mountain” (Designation of the Mount Royal by Montreal Locales). The posted speed limit is 50 km/h (31.25 mph) because of the many sharp curves and hills. Mount Royal Parkway is a good link from Westmount to eastern Montreal boroughs.

At its western end, the road ends with a “Garlic Interchange”. On westbound, there are a few cemetery entrances. At km 1, there is an exit to access the Beaver Lake Parking Lot. At km 2, there is a roundabout to access the main parking of the Mount Royal Park.

Junction Log (Camilien-Houde Way):
Then, the divided highway ends, and sharp curves and steep hills begin. Many falling rocks signs are posted. There is an exit at km 3 to access the Camilien-Houde lookout. The road ends a kilometre further, where it meets Mont-Royal Ave, Park Ave and Sainte-Catherine Hill Road in a complex intersection.

Souligny Avenue Expressway:
The Souligny Avenue Expressway, in the Montreal area, has been built in the old corridor that would have been used to accept A-20 when it would have used the actual A-720 (Ville-Marie Expressway) roadway, then would have bifurcated to connect with A-25. This project is still on the table but environmental groups are blocking the construction. When you access the Souligny Avenue Expressway from A-25, the BGS signs says “Centre-ville” (downtown) because of the tabled project that would link it with A-720.
