Highway 175 (Route 175) is a major north/south highway on both sides of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada. Its southern terminus is in Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon at the junction of Route 218 and its northern terminus is in Saguenay at the junction of Route 172, in the former city of Chicoutimi. Route 175 crosses the Saint Lawrence River on the Quebec Bridge, and a little further north of downtown Quebec City, it merges with Autoroute 73 for about 30km before becoming again a two-lane highway in Stoneham.
Part of Route 175 is built to autoroute standards; the major part of that autoroute portion, also known as Autoroute Laurentienne, is multiplexed with Autoroute 73. However the southern extremity of Autoroute Laurentienne, which is not part of A-73, is also designated as Autoroute 973, but is not signed as such.
The stretch of highway between Stoneham and Saguenay is one of the most dangerous highway in the province, as it is a two lane highway crossing the Laurentian mountains, and it provides the main link between the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region and the rest of the province. Talks have been going on for years between the provincial and federal government in order to transform this dangerous two-lane highway into a four lanes divided highway.
