On the Gatineau side, Montée Paiement is such a monument to poor planning. About 50 homes have driveways onto this road, and turning this into THE trucking route between the 50 and 417 would be a horror to them. I can't see how such a case would pass an environmental assessment without massive mitigation (or expropriation) if it were in Ontario.

Well, King Edward Avenue between Rideau St. and the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge, which is a designated interprovincial/intercity heavy truck route, has much more than 50 homes along it. And the last time I checked, it was located in Ontario.
Regarding Montée Paiement, though I don’t think that it is perfect, I do believe that it is already designated as a heavy truck route, so building a bridge at one end of it won’t necessarily require any additional approvals.
