Dorval Circle, Sources overpass among Quebec's roadwork priorities
Province to spend $1.4B on parts of Montreal road network, $5B across Quebec
Quebec plans to invest nearly $5 billion on road infrastructure over the next two years.
About $1.4 billion will go to improvements on the island of Montreal, far and away the most money being allocated to any of Quebec's administrative regions.
The Montérégie region is next, with about $544 million in new spending.
Some of the money set aside for Montreal will be spent on revamping an overpass linking Highways 13 and 40, while two multi-year projects, the bane of Montreal commuters — the Dorval Circle and the Turcot Interchange — are also among the beneficiaries.
There will also be maintenance work done on the Sources overpass in Pointe-Claire, which some West Island residents would much rather see torn down and replaced.
Motorists have observed that the concrete is chipping away, and they complain that the configuration makes the overpass difficult to navigate.
