Recent milestones
A project of this size must be
completed in sections. In the
fall of 2017, Highway 720 was
opened, followed by moving
the CN railway corridor in the
summer of 2018, then High-
way 15 a few months later.
The MTQ recently celebrated
another milestone with the
end of dismantling old High-
way 720 westbound and start
of construction of future route
136 westbound in March, 2019.
The project is over 75 per
cent complete, with over 90
per cent of the old structure’s
demolition complete. During
2019, various openings are
planned, in particular that of
route 136 westbound, Highway
15 southbound and various
ramps of the interchange.
When asked what is it like to
work on a project that will
impact so many people in a
positive way, Sultana says the
various technical, contractual
and organizational challenges
related to a project of this
magnitude are exciting and
highly stimulating. “The proj-
ect has been well publicized,
and the concerns of waterfront
communities and users have
been addressed and given
high priority, which required
frequent communication.”
