Voici un autre endroit avec une profounde coupe de roc, cette fois-ci à 30 m. Wow, je passe ça des fois et je m'en rends jamais compte.

Et on se demande pourquoi le dossier de son doublement de voies ne procède pas vite. Lorsqu’il faut dynamiter des roches de telle façon au bouclier canadien, une des plus anciennes (donc des plus fermes aussi) formations géologiques au monde, ça va coûter assez assez cher.
Cela dit, je souhaite qu’elle soit éventuellement twinnée aussi, mais il faut le réalisme pour l’instant.

L'A-50 ne sera probablement jamais prolongée à l'est de la jonction avec l'A-15.

Quote:

Pour l'autoroute 50, un tronçon de la route 158, entre St-Esprit et Joliette, était déjà aménagé dans l'optique d'être élargi en autoroute. Cependant, le projet semble définitivement mort ; la municipalité de St-Alexis a commencé il y a deux ans à vendre les terrains de l'emprise pour la construction de bâtiments commerciaux, et la municipalité voisine de St-Jacques a vu l'aménagement d'un rond-point par le MTQ et l'arrivée de nombreux commerces à l'intersection de la rue St-Jacques (principale). Les terrains voués à la construction de l'autoroute 50 ont donc été vendus... Ça en dit long.

J'ai de la nouvelle étonnante à ce dossier:
https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2021/05/...la-route-158-1
Ceci a été publié il y a un mois. Alors, ça m'a surpris qu'on l'a tout raté.
De toute façon, quand on parle du doublement de la 158 de telle façon (un échangeur à la 343, par exemple), il est assez possible qu'on prolongera l'autoroute 50 jusqu'à Joliette, après toutes ces années.
Bien, j'ai assez hâte. Si jamais ce prolongement se fait, ça sera le contournement de la grande région montréalaise ultîme.

Nommer l’Autoroute 50: l’Autoroute Guy Lafleur ou l’Autoroute Maurice Richard?

There was a movement about 20 years ago when Richard passed away to rename the highway and it never came to fruition.

I would be surprised if they did it now. Most highways are named after politicians, not hockey players.

I think naming it for Guy Lafleur is a pretty good bet.

Maurice Richard wasn't really a good fit, except for the fact that it's the 50 and he was the first to score 50 goals in 50 games.

Richard only played for Montreal teams, was from Montreal and had no relationship to our regions.

Other than maybe a few games he may have played against the Junior Senators before he made the jump to the NHL.

The Autoroute Guy-Lafleur makes way more sense. Of course there is the number 50 for him too.

Lafleur was from Thurso and the highway links the Outaouais and his hometown to Montreal where he had all of his greatest achievements.

You are correct that most autoroutes are named for politicians though the A-40 is named for singer-songwriter Félix Leclerc.

Don't get me wrong, I would love the 50 named after Lafleur. I guess it will be up to Premier Eyebrows to make it happen.

Premier Eyebrows? First time I've heard that one.

François Legault is big on Québécois pride so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he made this happen.

Along with Céline Dion, Guy Lafleur is the biggest Quebec icon of the past 4-5 decades.

J’ai pris 3 photos du chantier d’élargissement à l’Ange-Gardien cet après midi. Le déboisement est presque complet, mais la coupure de roc est à continuer. Voilà:

I actually thought I saw a sign saying “l’Autoroute Guy Lafleur” on my way back from taking photos. It was near the beginning of the divided section (heading west).

According to my belle-soeur who came to visit this weekend, a large part of the 50 is closed and detoured onto the 148 right now.

Which portion?

:/

I think they are rebuilding a stretch by Thurso where there are springs that are constantly wrecking the road, but I may be wrong.

Faudrait faire un tour...

Vous devriez vous abonner à Caméra de Nuit sur Faceboook, les gars!

Or.. you could tell us why it was closed

Accident?

Dengler Avenue · #**177** Posted **Jul 25, 2022, 7:26 PM**

Bien il y a eu un accident dans le secteur de Lépine hier. C’était probablement juste ça.

Non, c'est pas ça. C'était plus loin.

Seul Acajack connaît la réponse. I am not joining a facebook group of mouth-breathers to find out.

, Il peut nous dire.. pretty please.

Acajack · #**179** Posted **Jul 25, 2022, 8:11 PM**

En fait je n'avais pas l'info du tout. C'est juste que ce genre de chose est généralement sur Caméra de Nuit.

Acajack · #**180** Posted **Jul 25, 2022, 8:15 PM**

Mais puisque je suis teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellement gentil, je suis allé voir pour vous.

Je crois que Dengler a raison. La seule chose sur Caméra de Nuit concernant l'A-50 c'est l'accident près de Lépine qui a causé une fermeture. Alors c'est probablement ça. C'était assez tôt dimanche matin.
