Montreal to change forever on Dec. 11

After
decades of discussions, Montreal will finally get a beltway in a few weeks, as Highway 30 creates a ring of roads that keeps traffic off the island.
   This will have many good effects for the city and it will also further propel the West Island forward as a desirable place to live or own.
   The Dec. 11 or 12 opening -- just 74 days away - is said to be on schedule and will even include a throwback toll booth at the bridge over the St. Lawrence.

They're hiring!

   All motor transport using highways 20 or 40 should benefit from seeing less traffic as trucks travelling from Ontario past the city, or visa-versa will no longer have to clog up our city's roads.
   Chateauguay will benefit from this as well, because the long lines to the Mercier bridge should be somewhat alleviated as the new route will funnel southbound traffic via Perot Island.
   Cities tend to grow and prosper in a westerly fashion and this should support that trend, as Vaudreuil and the area around it will become far more accessible.
