Metropolitan highway

The metropolitan Autoroute with Montreal was thought in the years 1920.

With the economic crisis of the Thirties and the war which followed, it was put out of night light.

It is not that post-war period is precisely in 1952 which one started to implement according to the principles étasuniens whole at the car, this large oil and macadam devourer. One amorça thus the Expropriation S which crossed into two a half-dozen of parishes of the north of the island of Montreal. This north montréalais still had farms, cows and an agriculture of grains. Then in 1958, the Béton stroke of the highway took its current invoice. It is characterized by two aspects is a land part and an air part to allow a motor vehicle traffic in lower part.

Today one of the projects aiming at reconsidering this urban fracture is a system of tunnel which would see reappearing the ancestral bonds of territory.
