    The new 42km western section of the Autoroute 30 will alleviate traffic congestion by providing a southern bypass route around the island of Montreal. At the same time, it will improve access, ease congestion and promote economic development in the Montérégie, the southwest corner of Quebec province, and strengthen commercial ties to neighboring Ontario and the northeast United States.

    The approximately C$1.5bn project includes two major bridge crossings – a 2.5km bridge over the Beauharnois Canal, part of the St. Lawrence Seaway, and another 1.8km in length over the St. Lawrence River – and a 100m tunnel beneath the Soulange Canal.
