Looking south on Highway73 in Beauceville in 2007: Exit 61 has been the south end of Autoroute 73 from 2007 to 2016. Since September 30th 2016, you can now drive south passed that exit because the missing link of Highway 73 finally opened connecting the southern part of Highway 73 already in use in Notre-Dame-des-Pins up to St-Georges.
