From Montreal, the truck crosses the river through the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and follows Highway 20 to Rivière-du-Loup, then the 85-185 corridor through Témiscouata to Edmundston, the first city in New Brunswick. The trip is about 545 km.
This route is part of our long-distance moves: your furniture is protected with blankets and strapped in the truck, and both loading and delivery follow a schedule agreed in advance.
Whether you are leaving a Rosemont apartment, a West Island house or a downtown tower, we plan the crew according to your volume. For a local move, see our Moving Montreal page.
On the narrow streets of Montreal’s central neighbourhoods, plan space for the truck several days before the move: a permit may be needed depending on the borough. In a tower, book the service elevator and loading dock with management.
Edmundston, where the Madawaska and Saint John rivers meet, faces the State of Maine. Its population is overwhelmingly French-speaking: it is the heart of Brayon country, known for the Foire Brayonne festival and the legendary “Republic of Madawaska”.
This route is not one of our published packages: we organize it like our other long-distance moves, with a price set by free quote. Even though it crosses into another province, this move is often done in one day, taking Atlantic time into account.
From Montreal, the truck reaches Highway 20 through the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and follows it through Drummondville, Lévis and La Pocatière to Rivière-du-Loup. It then takes the 85-185 corridor across Témiscouata through Cabano and Dégelis, enters New Brunswick and reaches Edmundston on Route 2. The route stays entirely in Canada.
Allow about 5 hours 30 minutes of driving, not counting breaks. Edmundston is on Atlantic time, one hour ahead of Quebec: the arrival time is set in local time. Depending on volume, delivery happens the same day or the next, as agreed when you get your quote.
Moving to New Brunswick involves a few steps: exchanging your driver’s licence, registering your vehicle and signing up for provincial health insurance. Plan them as soon as your moving date is set.
Make an inventory of your furniture and tell us about heavy or fragile items. Keep your ID, your lease or purchase papers and the keys to your new home with you.
When leaving Montreal, check with your borough: a permit may be required to reserve the space in front of your door, with a lead time of 24 hours to 5 business days.
In a building, book the service elevator and let the superintendent know the loading time; in a plex, tell us about outdoor staircases and narrow passages.
Edmundston is built on the hills overlooking the two rivers: several streets downtown and around Victoria Street are sloped. You mostly find single-family homes, duplexes and a few apartment buildings.
Tell us the slope of the street, the floor and where the truck can park. In winter, have the access cleared and check parking rules with the City of Edmundston.
