Planning Your Trip on Autoroute 30? Here is What You Need to Know
If your daily commute or upcoming trip takes you along the South Shore, take note: the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has announced essential infrastructure updates on Autoroute 30. To ensure the safety of all drivers and the longevity of our road network, several overhead signage structures are scheduled for replacement.
Where and When is the Work Happening?
The roadwork is specifically targeting the westbound lanes of Autoroute 30. The affected zone spans from exit 87 in Sainte-Julie to the major interchange of highways 20 and 30 in Boucherville.
Mark your calendars:
- Start Date: May 3
- Estimated Completion: Mid-July
- Work Hours: Every night from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM
Traffic Impact and Driver Safety
To minimize disruptions to the thousands of commuters who rely on Autoroute 30, the Ministry has scheduled these interventions during the night. However, drivers should still be prepared for the following changes when passing through the work zone:
- Reduced Speed Limits: The speed limit will be lowered to 80 km/h near the construction sites. Please slow down to protect the crews working on the road.
- Detours: Temporary signage will be in place to guide drivers through any necessary detours.
Note: Please be aware that roadwork schedules may be adjusted, extended, or postponed due to adverse weather conditions or operational constraints.
How to Stay Updated in Real-Time
Avoid unexpected delays by planning your trip in advance. The most reliable way to monitor traffic conditions in Quebec is through Québec 511.
We highly recommend:
- Visiting the official Québec 511 website before hitting the road.
- Downloading the Québec 511 mobile app to receive instant push notifications about traffic jams or road closures.
A Call for Cooperation
The safety of road users and construction workers is the top priority. Following the posted signage and adhering to the reduced speed limits is essential to prevent accidents. We thank all drivers for their patience and cooperation during these necessary improvements to the Autoroute 30 corridor.
