Autoroute 13 (orA-13, also known asAutoroute Chomedey with sections formerly known asAutoroute Mirabel), is afreeway in the urban region ofMontreal,Quebec,Canada. Its southern end is at the junction ofA-20 on theIsland of Montreal nearPierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. Its northern terminus is at the junction ofA-640 nearBoisbriand. The road traversesLaval. A-13 is mostly six-laned and tolls were removed.
Autoroute 13 was originally built as atoll highway in 1975, ultimately to connect the two international airports,Mirabel and Dorval (nowTrudeau International Airport). However A-13 was not built beyond its interim terminus at A-640, leaving onlyA-15 to connect Mirabel with Montréal island.
The designation of Autoroute Chomedey refers to the community ofChomedey inLaval, through which A-13 passes. Formerly, common usage was to refer to the autoroute as Autoroute Chomedey south of theMilles-Îles river, and Autoroute Mirabel north of that point. In recent usage, however, the Autoroute Chomedey name is generally used for the full length of the autoroute. Boulevard Pitfield is routed as a parallel service road to A-13 inSt-Laurent.
Boulevard Pitfield derives its name from the origin of the actual route. In the 1920s, the actual route was a Polo Pony Trail leading from the various estates of theSaraguay Village residents to their Polo Fields, now where the area of St. Laurent Blvd and Bois Franc merge. In the late 1930s the path became an unpaved local road. Over the next several decades Saraguay Farms, owned by Mrs. W.C. Pitfield, was paid to clear the road in the winter by the municipality of St. Laurent. The road was developed into a two-lane highway in the 1960s.
The Quebec provincial government was planning to extend Autoroute 13 north ofA-640 in the late 1990s as an alternate route forA-15 (Autoroute Décarie/Autoroute des Laurentides).
