Sainte-Julienne Bypass: New Regional Road Construction
Quebec's Ministry of Transport consulted residents about building a 3.5 km bypass road around Sainte-Julienne. The new four-lane regional road would connect to Route 125 north and south of the town centre. Traffic on Route 125 has increased significantly over the past 20 years, causing congestion and safety concerns.
Why This Matters
Drive through Sainte-Julienne regularly? You know the traffic headaches. This bypass could cut your commute time and reduce accidents on Route 125. Local farmers and truckers would also benefit from smoother access to northern Lanaudière communities like Rawdon and Saint-Donat.
What Could Change
A new 3.5 km four-lane road would be built around Sainte-Julienne's town centre. Route 125 traffic would be diverted away from the urban core. Construction would affect local farmland and properties along the corridor.
Key Issues
- What are residents' needs and concerns about the bypass project?
- How can the project be better integrated into the local environment?
- What traffic flow and road safety issues need to be addressed?
What Happened
The consultation has concluded. The Ministry thanked participants for their input.
