On July 11, 2026, Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette announced the creation of a project office to modernize a five‑kilometre segment of Highway 132 on Montreal’s South Shore. The announcement was made in the riding of Sanguinet, underscoring the government’s focus on transportation infrastructure in the region.
The new office will oversee the revamp of Highway 132 between the municipalities of Saint‑Constant, Sainte‑Catherine and Delson. This stretch of road, part of a key east‑west corridor on the South Shore, is slated for upgrades that aim to improve safety and traffic flow while bringing the route up to contemporary standards.
Premier Fréchette emphasized that the project reflects the provincial government’s broader commitment to enhancing connectivity across Quebec. By establishing a dedicated office, the government intends to streamline planning, coordination and implementation of the modernization work, ensuring that the five‑kilometre section receives focused attention.
The announcement follows a series of initiatives aimed at upgrading Highway 132 throughout the South Shore area. While specific timelines for construction were not disclosed, the establishment of the project office signals that the province is moving forward with concrete steps to bring the planned improvements to fruition. The effort aligns with ongoing plans to strengthen transportation links that serve the growing populations of Saint‑Constant, Sainte‑Catherine and Delson, and to support regional economic activity.
Residents and commuters can expect that the modernization will eventually address current bottlenecks and enhance overall road conditions on this important stretch of Highway 132. The government has not released further details about funding levels or the exact scope of the upgrades at this stage.
