Since its completion in 2012, it has served as a bypass to the west of Montreal, facilitating access to Ontario and the United States. This makes it a key artery for trucking. Furthermore, since it connects to the R\u00e9seau express m\u00e9tropolitain (REM) in Brossard, a significant number of buses travel along it to serve public transit users.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, traffic volume on the stretch connecting Brossard and Boucherville was estimated at between 50,000 and 85,000 vehicles per day, 15% of which would be trucks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Necessary Project Focused on Public Transportation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A liberal government is committed to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add one lane in each direction on the section of Highway 30 connecting Brossard and Boucherville;<\/li>\n<li>Redesign the on-ramps and interchanges in the area to adapt them to their new use;<\/li>\n<li>Implement a dynamic management system for these new lanes to reserve them for public transportation and carpooling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The CAQ has reneged on its promise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2018, the CAQ promised to carry out the project during its first term, but no progress has been made. Today, the CAQ is making the same promise it made during the last two elections, but refuses to move the project forward.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cPeople on Montreal\u2019s South Shore have been waiting far too long after the CAQ\u2019s empty promises. The existing road infrastructure is no longer sufficient to meet the region\u2019s growth. Our commitment is clear: we will revive the project and ensure that public transit is at the heart of our redevelopment efforts. It\u2019s time for the issues facing the South Shore to receive the attention they deserve.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>- Charles Milliard, Leader of the Quebec Liberal Party<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"inline_featured_image":false},"circonscription":[133],"dossier":[134,135,176],"langue":[173],"nouvelle-a-la-une":[],"class_list":["post-25340","communique","type-communique","status-publish","circonscription-chef","dossier-services-publics","dossier-regions","dossier-economie","langue-francais"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/communique\/25340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/communique"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/communique"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"circonscription","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/circonscription?post=25340"},{"taxonomy":"dossier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dossier?post=25340"},{"taxonomy":"langue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/langue?post=25340"},{"taxonomy":"nouvelle-a-la-une","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plq.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nouvelle-a-la-une?post=25340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
