Quick question    heading to Saguenay    How is the 40 north of Montreal ? or better to take the 30  bypass Montreal then cross at Trois Rivieres   TIA

Was up there 2 weeks ago.  We took the 30 bypass, then crossed in Quebec City.  The 175 north of Quebec City to Saguenay is a great drive.

thanks  I should have been more specific    we are launching 40 min east of Trios Rivieres   maybe take 55  cross river and continue to 40     The bypass is nice and not expensive

Getting through the city to take 40 East can be a traffic nightmare most times of the day. The 30 bypass / 20 east and 55N is longer but an easier drive in my opinion Nick.

YOU WANT TO GET UP ON THE 640 ROUTE NORTH OF THE CITY FOR SURE. OR ELSE??

That is an idea but as far as I know you have to take 13 north to get to it. There may be other ways but I  don't know them. The traffic getting to 13  as well as the traffic on 13 can be a pain in the ass depending on your timing. I know that from experience.
