From montreal to regina!!! any one know the best route? |
Travel Info Hey my boyfriend is going to regina for 6 months and ill hopefully be visiting him by car, anyone know the best car route to travel it and how long did it take you? Travel Tips Wow! That's a very long drive. If you're travelling alone, I would definitely pace yourself and don't try to do too much in one day. Basically, you'll just be doing the Trans-Canada Highway the entire way. Take the 417 from Montreal to Ottawa, which then becomes the 17 just past Ottawa, at Amprior. Take Highway 17 all along the Great Lakes, right to Thunder Bay, where it forks with highway 11, but make sure you stay on Highway 17 at the fork. Highway 17 will turn into Highway 1 when you hit the Manitoba borner. Then, just stay on highway 1 through Winnipeg, all the way to Regina. You're looking at a good three-day drive, but don't be afraid to extend it into four days if you're feeling tired. Good luck! Others It's probably less driving time if you go through the US...go to Toronto, then London, cross into Michigan at Sarnia, through Michigan to Chicago (I-69, then I-94), then north to Minneapolis, up to Fargo, North Dakota, then up to Winnepeg, then west to Regina. It's less time, but, you have to then do the customs. (total about 33.5 hours or three days). Gas in U.S. is usually a bit cheaper. It's slightly more miles and slightly more driving time to go north of the Great Lakes... you'll go 40, then Trans Canada Hwy to Ottawa. From Ottawa continue Trans Canada to Sudbury, then Sault Ste-Marie, Thunder Bay, Dryden, Winnepeg, into Regina. This is about 36 hours (3 days). Going just through Canada means not having to deal with customs. I guess I would recommend going one way there, and the other way back if you like an adventure. Just try to time it so that when you go through the major metropolitan areas it is not rush hour (7-9 AM in the morning or 4-6 PM in the evening) BUT, If you don't like driving in major metropolitan areas, then just go the northern route through Canada, as Toronto, Chicago, and Minneapolis can have really heavy traffic. It's gotten ridiculous. mapquest. Also, I've driven from Michigan to Montreal a bunch of times. |
