Besides the fact that we all know that our government is for the most part useless when dealing with infrastructure along with everything else. Can someone please explain why the heck they wasted our tax money and didn't accomplish anything in terms of traffic flow on the Decarie Expressway northbound, heading to the 40 West.
Their intention was to alleviate traffic in the left lane heading west but it's still only one lane. They added a second lane for the 520 West which takes you back down the ramp where there's a traffic light and then you have to go back up the original ramp, if you do this at rush hour, well good luck it's going to take you 10 minutes to get to the CDL circle. No one is using this 520 lane, why would they when they could just get on to the 40 and get off at the first exit that takes them to the CDL circle and not have to wait on the two ramps. It boggles my mind, nothing has been accomplished in terms of the congestion of that left lane. Ideally they would need two lanes going up to the 40 West but I don't think it would be possible in the current configuration. I wonder who I could contact at the MTQ or my local MNA to complain about this.
And to top it off they increased that double solid line about 8 years ago but they didn't realize that this makes matters worse because you have drivers literally stopping in the middle lane all the way back near Pare to get in the left lane and this just causes more congestion.
Here's what the MTQ wanted to accomplish, they mention the congestion at about the 2:09 min mark.

Le data??? il est reconnu que ce secteur est celui qui s'Est développer le plus dans les dernières années.... St-Scholastique, St-Canut etc.... Expropriation??? news flash mon homme.... tout est déjà exproprier jusqu'à la 50...... Présentement.. ils se prépare à tout redonner ou vendre!!! LA mojorité de ces terrains ont été exproprié pour faire l'aéroport de mirabel , le train rapide qui était censé avoir etc.... C'est un peu comme la 440 qui était censé passé par l'ile-bizard rejoindre la 40 à la pointe ouest de l'ile... Tout les terrains sont déjà exproprié.. mais fouille moi comment, des promotteurs réussisse a acheter et construire.. Bye Bye la véritable boucle de contournement de la Rive-Nord.... ( À moins qu'ils débloquent les fonds nécessaire pour construire le Méga pont à Oka pour boucler par la 640......)
