According to the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (MTMD), traffic will alternate with traffic lights at all times during the work.

This project is part of a series of measures to improve safety on the Route 138 corridor between Mercier and Sainte-Martine,” the MTMD explained. Eventually, the correction of the road's inclination in this curve will improve vehicle stability and reduce the risk of loss of control during turning maneuvers.”
