Overall seems good. Nothing really new from the last stage of information. Clarifies some finer details on staging.
There is an initial stage and ultimate stage. None of which include traffic signals, except for the St Norbert Bypass initial stage. I'm not 100% clear if that's just to get the Kenaston interchange built. So the south end would terminate at Rue de Trapisstes. Or if they'd actually have lights on the bypass for the initial stage.
Initial stage would close of a couple locations and have no interchanges. With diamonds to be added in the future when needed. Initial stage is 4 lane. So existing interchanges would be kept as is, and upgraded in the ultimate stage when going to 6 lanes.
Seems like a very reasonable plan to get the highway upgraded to a freeway. Money is the next question. It noted they have planned segments of the highway to be packaged together for traditional design-bid-build delivery model. These segments could also be packaged together into a larger design-build or P3 project. So there is some flexibility.
