Boulevard Saint-Joseph

Boulevard Saint-Joseph is a commercial boulevard in the former city of Hull, Quebec (now Gatineau). It runs from Boulevard Alexandre-Tache to the boundaries of the city of Gatineau and the suburban town of Chelsea.

Also known as Route 105 that travels all the way to Route 117 in Grand-Remous, north of Maniwaki, this road travels through a commercial district. Numerous types of businesses are located all along the road. Most of them are small independent companies by local entrepreneurs for the Association professionnelle des gens d'affaires de Hull. However, in the recent years the affluence dropped due to the development of the Plateau de la Capitale commercial district in which big-box stores were built in conjunction of the booming residential development in the area which drove away many customers from the Saint-Joseph commercial strip.

At its southern end is the Salaberry Armoury in which has a militia from the Hull regiment and a park called "Parc des Chars de Combat". The Université du Québec en Outaouais's two campuses are also located just off the road.

Two roundabouts were built in 2004 and 2005, one at Montcalm Street and the other at Boulevard des Allumettières (formerly Boulevard Saint-Laurent) in which it serves as a direct link to the Aylmer sector and Le Plateau when the freeway (Route 148) was completed during the fall of 2007.
