Reconstruction of the Turcot,
Angrignon, De La Vérendrye
and Montréal-Ouest inter-
changes will be carried out
beneath or beside the current
structures. Both Highway 20
and the railway tracks were
moved north between the
Turcot and Montréal-Ouest
interchanges to allow future
redevelopment of the Turcot
Yards, with Notre-Dame Street
forming an axis.
The Turcot Project will improve
other aspects of the commu-
nity beside transportation—it
will also help improve the
relationship of this major inter-
change with the waterfront
neighbourhoods. “The project
represents an excellent oppor-
tunity to rethink, renew and
improve a number of aspects of
the urban fabric,” says Sultana.
“Establishing links between
neighbourhoods, landscaping,
greening of slopes and residual
spaces, widening of sidewalks
and developing bicycle paths
are just a few examples of what
is planned for this project.”
