History of the
Turcot Interchange
The Turcot interchange first
opened to traffic in 1967. While
the new project will keep the
traffic capacity as before, new
infrastructure will be keeping
with current standards and
definitely bring benefits for
motorists. For example, adding
shoulders to the interchange
will help limit the impact of any
incidents on the road network
and facilitate access for emer-
gency vehicles.
Growing transportation needs
The Turcot interchange will
be built to reduce local traffic
by redirecting it in part to the
routes of the greater network,
