After about a decade of planning and four years of construction the new configuration of the Decarie interchange is nearing completion. The $100 million project has a goal of increasing the safety and improving the vehicle flow through and around the interchange.
The work was supposed to have been completed by September 2012 and has so far taken two full years longer than anticipated (is that really a surprise to anyone, anywhere)?
But now that vehicles have been using the new configuration, not everyone is thrilled. Forum member Gollum points out that one of the intended goals in the video below was the alleviate traffic in the left lane of the 15N to exit for HWY 40 West. This hasn’t happened, he writes. Other members are writing that they like the new configuration. Member darkestfenix works for the MTQ and is providing a different perspective.
