Premier Christine Fréchette announced Saturday the creation of a project office to revamp a section of Highway 132 on Montreal's South Shore [1].
The initiative aims to modernize a critical transportation corridor to improve infrastructure and traffic flow in the riding of Sanguinet. This redevelopment is part of a broader effort by the Quebec government to update regional transit links.
The project targets a five-kilometre [1, 2] section of the corridor between Saint-Constant, Sainte-Catherine, and Delson [1, 3]. This specific stretch has been identified as a priority for reconfiguration to better serve the growing population of the South Shore.
"Premier Christine Fréchette announced the creation of a project office," CBC Montreal said [1]. The office will oversee the planning and execution of the modernization efforts to ensure the corridor meets current standards.
According to reports, "the project targets a five-kilometre section of the corridor between Sainte-Catherine and Delson" [3]. The government has not yet released a full timeline for completion, but the establishment of the project office marks the formal relaunch of the redevelopment plan.
The reconfiguration will address the needs of motorists and residents in the affected municipalities. By focusing on this five-kilometre [1, 2] segment, the province intends to reduce bottlenecks and enhance safety along the route.
“The project targets a five-kilometre section of the corridor between Sainte-Catherine and Delson.”
The creation of a dedicated project office indicates that the Quebec government is moving from the conceptual phase to the operational phase of the Highway 132 modernization. By targeting a specific five-kilometre stretch, the province is prioritizing high-congestion zones to alleviate regional traffic pressure on Montreal's South Shore.
