About the Sorel-Tracy – Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola crossing
A short, high-frequency crossing at the eastern end of the Montréal region: 12 minutes from Sorel-Tracy on the south bank to Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola on the north, with around 35 sailings a day. It works as a bypass — taking it saves the drive up to the Montréal bridges for anyone moving between the Montérégie and Lanaudière — and the frequency reflects that commuter role. The route runs at the entrance to Lac Saint-Pierre, the widening of the St. Lawrence that UNESCO designates a biosphere reserve, and the archipelago of low islands scattered here is visible from the deck. Vehicles are carried, service is year-round, and the crossing is short enough that most drivers stay with their cars.
