About Shipping in Quebec City
Quebec City, Quebec is one of North America's oldest cities, perched on the cliffs above the St. Lawrence River. The city's port handles international vehicle shipments along the St. Lawrence Seaway. It serves as the eastern anchor of Quebec's major highway corridors connecting to Montreal and Atlantic Canada.
Autoroute 20 provides the primary corridor west to Montreal and beyond. Steep terrain within the old city can pose challenges for large carrier trucks. Heavy snowfall and icy conditions from November to April require careful scheduling and vehicle protection.
