This short section of Autoroute was destined to become part of a much longer section of freeway, as Autoroute 55 was supposed to follow this route south towards Warwick and Richmond, as opposed to its current configuration through Drummondville; this was never completed, but the short route still remains. The route has a posted speed limit of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) despite at-grade four-way stop intersections.
Its northern interchange with Autoroute 20 also connects it to parent route Autoroute 55, which was extended south to A-20 in October 2006.
Prior to 2018, the highway stretched all the way to Rue Principale in Saint-Albert. Since then, the Ministère des Transports du Québec has trimmed the highway 1.2 km, to Route 122, to allow agricultural vehicles to use the last kilometre of the highway.[3]
Hydro-Québec's HVDC Quebec - New England Transmission circuit runs parallel alongside A-955 through most of the road's length.
