Highway Access

Quinte West is well served by the local highway network. Our location on the Highway 401 corridor, a four-lane controlled highway, allows access to all of the major markets in southern Ontario and also serves as a route to major border crossings.

More than half of all North American industrial markets are within one day's trucking distance from the Quinte West area. As Ontario's most important highway, Highway 401 is the major transportation route for all of southern Ontario. Highway 401 links Quinte West with most major centres in Ontario, including Toronto, ninety minutes to the west, and Ottawa, just over two hours to the east. Montreal is three hours to the east. Quinte West is serviced by almost all of the major transport companies and the area is home to many trucking and transportation companies.
