By this time next year, your drive to the Trudeau Airport may never be the same.
Finishing the infamous Dorval overpasses that link Highway 20 to the airport is scheduled for the fall of 2017.
It means no more battling with local traffic through the congested Dorval circle to travel between downtown and Trudeau.
“Dorval is the entrance with the airport; it’s the entrance with Quebec, Canada,” Dorval Mayor Edgar Rouleau told Global News.
Rouleau has been an outspoken critic of the way Transport Quebec has managed the project.
Building the overpasses started in 2009 but was stopped in its tracks as the MTQ failed to secure permission from CN and CP Rail to build on or above its property.
Work only resumed this year after a seven-year delay.
“You just have to be very patient but it is frustrating,” one Dorval resident told Global News.
It’s expected that 15,000 drivers will use the two new overpasses each day once they’re built.
Transport Quebec’s project of re-configuring the area north of the tracks near the airport won’t be finished until 2019.
The plans to rebuild the Dorval circle have been delayed indefinitely.
