A major project to rebuild Montreal's busy Turcot Interchange in Canada now looks set to go ahead, having been approved by the city council. Costing some US$3.01 billion (C$3 billion), the work is needed as the capacity of the interchange is stretched given the volume of traffic it has to handle. At present around 290,000 vehicles/day use the interchange and this is expected to continue to grow and top 304,000 vehicles/ day. The construction of the new Turcot Interchange will be carried out in the 2012-2018 period. The final approval for the work has yet to be given while the tendering process for the project has yet to be announced.
