rive-sud Autoroute 30 - Discussion générale

[Né entre les rapides]

Il y a de très gros pôles d'emplois à Anjou et Saint-Laurent.

 

Certainement, ce fait est bien connu et incontournable. Mais concernant Saint-Laurent, j'imagine mal pourquoi un résident de Laval passerait par l'A-25 pour s'y rendre, considérant que le centre de gravité démographique de Laval est situé très à l'ouest de l'A-25, et qu'un hypothétique trajet A-25 sud /A-40 ouest (chère met) n'apparaît pas optimal, même en supposant une économie de temps pour la traversée de la rivière. Même chose pour les résidents de Blainville/Boisbriand. Concernant Anjou, je concède que c'est différent, mais un "apport" en provenance de l'A-25 (Laval/Terrebonne) doit être une goutte d'eau comparée à l'A-40 (est de Montréal et Repentigny) et l'A-25/A-20 (Boucherville/Longueuil).

 

De toute façon, globalement, quand on analyse l'évolution la plus récente des déplacements (origines/destinations) dans la région de Montréal, on constate que les seuls motifs (de déplacement de la banlieue vers Montréal) pour lesquels il y a eu une augmentation sont les Etudes et la Santé (s'expliquant par la forte concentration de ces établissements dans le centre), alors que les déplacements pour les autres motifs (travail, magasinage, loisirs) sont en baisse. On parle ici de déplacements par l'ensemble des moyens de transport (TEC, auto, autres)

MONTREAL—For decades, impatient Montrealers have waited as piecemeal construction has slowly pushed a beltway around the island of Montreal. In five weeks, the final stretch of Highway 30 will be completed.

 

For commuters and truckers, the beltway will mean a faster route through Quebec by avoiding the congested city of Montreal. On-island drivers could also see less traffic. The company building the last section of Highway 30 promises the road will open before Christmas.

 

A public-private partnership, the final section is nearly 35 kilometres long with a major interchange, a tunnel and two bridges which combined are longer than the Champlain Bridge.

 

With no alternative around Montreal, the decades-old project has led to frustrated truckers like Barry Buntin, who say that nothing is worse than sitting in Quebec’s traffic.

 

“Just stop-and-go traffic all the time, construction,” said Buntin, anger clear in the Ontarian’s voice. “You're paid by the mile, you're not paid by the hour. If you're sitting in traffic, you're just sittin’ there losing money. To make money you gotta be puttin' the miles in.”

 

Denis Leonard, the spokesman for the Nouvelle Autoroute 30 consortium, said the Dec. 15 opening date is set in stone.

 

First conceived in the 60s, the beltway plan was advanced only a kilometre or two per decade. Montreal’s city administrators weren’t keen on the idea of traffic avoiding the island.

 

“I've always said that was very short-sighted. We were probably one of the only, if not the only major North American city, without beltways, which are now absolutely necessary,” said traffic expert Rick Leckner.

 

The change only came with the 1990 Oka Crisis, which drove home the point that a beltway was needed to take the strain of the island’s limited number of ageing connections.

 

“That showed how, unfortunately, we can be held hostage and I use that in every sense of the word,” said Leckner.

 

According to Buntin, the new highway will be a dream come true, and he expects Montreal’s traffic woes will improve.

 

“It will be better for us and on the Metropolitan it will be much better. Because all the guys are there in the morning, there are lines of trucks there in the morning,” said Buntin.

 

Most of Highway 30 will be free of tolls, but drivers who get on or off at the newest section in Vaudreuil-Dorion will have to pay, for truckers the price will start at $1 per axel. The money will be used to maintain the highway and generate a profit for the private company that built the road.

 

With construction starting on the Turcot interchange and the Champlain bridge, the timing couldn’t be better to keep some traffic off island.

 

“The design for the traffic is planned for the next 30 years, so it will be a highway that will not jam and keep it easy to bypass Montreal,” said Leonard.

Quebec’s Transport ministry says it will open the extension of Highway 30 on Dec. 15, on schedule, and as agreed with the private company taking on the work.

 

The new four-lane highway will be managed by a private company called Nouvelle Autoroute 30 s.e.n.c. (NA30), led by Spanish-based companies Acciona and Iridium, which will get 30 years to collect tolls before turning the highway back to the government. The private company was given $1.5 billion from the provincial government, which it must pay back with revenue collected from tolls. After that amount is paid back, the company must continue to maintain the highway, and it will continue to earn revenue from the tolls.

 

According to the public-private partnership agreement, the highway is to open no later than Dec. 15. Sylvie Marrier, a spokesperson for the consortium confirmed Thursday the highway will open on Dec. 15, but the exact time has yet to be determined.

 

A new website was set up recently to answer users questions about the highway including its toll system.

 

Motorists driving over the Serge Marcil Bridge – a 1.86-kilometre span over the St. Lawrence River – will have to pay a toll of 75 cents per axle for small cars for a total of $1.50). Trucks, and cars with trailers will pay $1.15 per axle (trucks with 12 wheels or six axles, for example, will pay $6.90 to cross the bridge). The tolls can be paid by credit card or cash in one of 14 toll plazas set up on the highway (seven in each direction).

 

Frequent users will be able to buy transponders to pay their tolls in advance and get access to an express toll lane. A transponder is an RFID tag that users can stick to their cars which the toll booth will read automatically, and the barrier will lift for cars rolling through at 20 kilometres per hour or less, Marrier explained. Users paying with cash or credit card will have to stop and pay. The transponder can be purchased for $5 online, or at the head office of the new highway’s management at 5388 Pierre Dansereau Ave. in St-Timothée. Transponder users will have to pay a monthly fee of $1.60 per month for cars, or $2.50 for trucks.

 

While the head of Quebec’s trucking association complained the new toll system could lead to bottlenecks, Marrier pointed out that having a pay-as-you-go system for most will avoid high administrative fees in place on the Autoroute 25 bridge in Laval (which costs around $7 for a one-time use), or the Highway 407 near Toronto, which has seen tolls skyrocket as high as $26. With those systems, a photo is taken of each car’s licence plate, and then bills are sent to the address of the car’s owner.

 

The $1.5-billion project more than 45 years in the making will have major implications for the whole region. On the island of Montreal, traffic from large trucks is expected to decrease, as they bypass the island to travel between Ontario and the U.S. border. People who regularly commute between Boucherville and Vaudreuil-Dorion, will shave between 23 and 31 minutes off their trip, and the area will see economic benefits as it becomes a major transport hub. In Montreal, it’s estimated 5,000 transporter trucks per day and 12,000 private vehicles will be diverted from the island’s congested roadways.

I live in Brossard and my in-laws live in Beaconsfield. I wonder if the 30 will be faster?

Nice distance, well played.

Mes yeux demeurent tournés vers l'échangeur A-20/A-30 près de Saint- Bruno. Comme vous le savez, cet échangeur est du type "trèfle", entraînant des chevauchements de trajet. Si jamais la fonction de contournement de l'A-30 remporte le succès attendu, il y aura congestion à cet endroit. Je sais que le MTQ a déjà annoncé son intention de remplacer les ponts d'étagements de l'échangeur, et de (peut-être) en modifier la configuration, mais rien n'est fait à ce jour. Dommage, parce que l'ouverture prochaine de la partie ouest de l'A-30 n'est pas une surprise tout de même.
