Quebec Roads Need Proactive Care

Quebec’s roads are crumbling—half are in poor condition, with a $30 billion maintenance backlog—and a new coalition of industry leaders, academics, and business experts is demanding a radical overhaul. They’re urging the next government to stop reacting to emergencies and start investing proactively, using smarter, more efficient strategies to avoid costly reconstructions. With infrastructure aging like an old house needing regular care, the coalition’s five key proposals include protecting maintenance budgets, creating a political-free contingency fund, accelerating tech and material innovation, and boosting recycling. Their message is clear: Quebec can’t keep patching up roads—it needs a long-term, preventative plan to ensure lasting value and fiscal responsibility.
