This work will inevitably lead to traffic jams, but everything will be done to limit the inconvenience to motorists, assured Chantal Rawley, Minister of Transport and Minister in charge of the Metropolis and Montreal area.

“We can say for sure that there will be obstacles and orange cones, but we have no other way to work,” she said. We have to meet the infrastructure management deficit. ”

“A committee brings together the major clients who carry out their projects, and they look at how to coordinate work to avoid a completely blocked quadrangle or work on all bridges at the same time. Example”, suggests MTo me Roller.

“I asked Mobility to review Montreal from top to bottom to improve its efficiency.”
