Québec sait faire. When they redo a road, they don’t fool around.
This is slightly old news now, but ever so welcome! Until a few weeks ago, this heavily used stretch of Meech Lake Road, which links Old Chelsea to Gatineau Park, was easily one of the most neglected roads in the province, a road-cyclist’s nightmare of potholes, with no paved shoulder. It’s hard to believe it is the same road!

Spectacular!
It would be nice if they continued this stretch of road from P8 to Dunlop road or even to P11
It sure was time…I had even changed my route when doing the North Loop to get off at P5 and ride down Kingsmere Road instead of finishing off at P8. Nirvana now 🙂
I wonder why they’ve drawn double lines between the car lane and the bike lane. Is this usual in Quebec? I hope they don’t put up those horrible wobbly vertical stick things between the two lines.
I drove on it yesterday (I know, shame, I should have been cycling), and it’s marvelous. It was way overdue, even for car traffic.
I was wondering about the double lines, too.
I have to confess, too, Sue, that I sometimes DROVe my bike to P8 in the car just to avoid the jaw-jarring, especially at times in the week when I knew there would be a lot of impatient car drivers out.
