HOCHELAGA-MAISONNEUVE TO LONGUEUIL: To the west, the expressway would have been built between Pie-IX Boulevard and Viau Street, bisecting Maisonneuve Park and Olympic Park. It also would have required significant takings of residential properties in the Saint-Leonard and Rosemont neighborhoods. To the east, the expressway would have been rerouted in the area of Roland Therrien Boulevard in Longueuil. Planners rejected this route as it would have disrupted port operations, which would have required construction of a bridge with a high clearance if that alternative had been chosen. The steep drop on the Montreal side of the crossing, as well as the presence of the port also precluded construction of a tunnel.

MONTREAL-EST TO BOUCHERVILLE (NORD): To the west, the expressway would have been built roughly along Broadway Avenue, and to the east, the expressway would have touched down in the northern part of the city of Boucherville near De Montbrun Street. Planners rejected this proposal because it would have (1) required the construction of nearly three kilometers (two miles) of earthen fill, as the western approach was on a slope; and (2) the construction of an interchange with the Metropolitan Expressway would have disrupted operations at a nearby oil refinery and storage facility.
