The city of Montreal has put forward a plan to demolish the Van Horne overpass, proposing either a replacement structure or an underpass. Both the Plateau‑Mont‑Royal and Rosemont‑La Petite‑Patrie boroughs have rejected the proposal.
The overpass, which connects the two boroughs, is scheduled to reach the end of its service life by 2030, prompting the city's demolition plan. The boroughs' opposition means the future of the structure remains uncertain.
The city’s suggestion includes constructing a new crossing, but no further details have been agreed upon as the boroughs maintain their stance against the demolition.
