What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project demonstrates how ambitious transport infrastructure can be achieved at a relatively low cost compared to global standards, which is critical for future project budgeting. For Quebec constructors, this could serve as a model to optimize timelines and costs, potentially increasing the use of practices like prefabrication for greater efficiency. Additionally, the improved transport network may lead to increased permit requirements and coordination among various trades.
