Construction of a third link between Québec and Lévis

A project to build a third highway link between Québec and Lévis is currently in the planning stage. The new link is intended to improve mobility and traffic flow in the Communauté métropolitaine de Québec (CMQ) and to strengthen the security of commercial and economic connections throughout eastern Québec.

Objectives

The purpose of this project is to:

  • Enhance the economic development and security of eastern Québec by establishing a third highway link to transport goods and merchandise.
  • Improve mobility for residents travelling from the eastern part of the region.
  • Incorporate private-sector investment to help optimize project costs and introduce tolling to reduce pressure on public finances.

Project progress

The project is presently in the planning stage.

Key milestones

Launch of a call for expressions of interest to assess market capacity and interest in participating in the construction and financing of an eastern third link (June 25, 2026).
