The Bonaventure project started with the need to refresh an important entryway into the city of Montreal by replacing the existing Bonaventure elevated expressway built in 1966 by a ground-level urban boulevard called Robert-Bourassa Boulevard. The part of the highway is owned by city of Montreal between Lachine Canal and Notre-Dame street.<\/p>\n

The project was designed under three main themes: create a prestigious, functional, and friendly downtown entrance to help reconnect the surrounding neighborhood and support urban redevelopment through strategic public interventions (projetbonaventure.ca). With the existing Bonaventure highway being an important access way in Montreal, the construction needed to cause the least amount of inconvenience possible, especially to traffic.<\/p>\n<\/div>
