17 JAN 2026 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA A major transformation is underway on the north shore approaches to the PierreLaporte and Quebec bridges, reshaping how residents, commuters, and visitors travel between Quebec City and Lévis. The redevelopment of Avenue des Hôtels and the surrounding corridor represents a large-scale initiative that blends transportation efficiency, sustainability, safety, and modern urban planning. The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (province of Québec) has outlined a series of coordinated interventions that will introduce new public transit infrastructure, improve pedestrian and cycling routes, support long term economic potential, and offer a renewed urban experience at one of the most visible gateways to the national capital (Quebec City). The work includes a complete redesign of Avenue des Hôtels with a dedicated public transit corridor, a tunnel that allows buses to bypass a busy intersection, reconstruction of access ramps, new links for active transportation, redesigned intersections, and landscaping to give the area a distinctive visual identity. According to publicly available project information, the goal is to modernize and streamline travel for all users while encouraging adoption of sustainable transportation. When asked how the dedicated bus corridor and tunnel will benefit commuters, Sophie Boucher, urban planner and project manager, Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility emphasizes the focus on reliability and travel time improvements.
