This webpage goes back to an earlier 2023 installment of a traffic signal in Broussard that remains red until an approaching car slows down to a certain speed limit. To me personally it can only work on lightly traveled two lane roads, but the media in Montreal wants to bring it out again.  I'm guessing in this situation FRED is gone past the experimental stage with flying colors.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

The next segment of A-70 is under construction.  Construction of the whole project is scheduled to last through 2028.

Construction industry, at least in province of Quebec, is not the same than it was some decades ago; this section of freeway is about 4.3 miles, and will take over 5 years to be completed. Because when the MTQ says 2028, we can figure out that will not be January. A Quebec TV host said, some times ago, that if Quebec have to rebuilt James Bay complex, it would take a whole century.
- How many people are working in here?
- About 20%.

States/provinces/territories I didn't went in: AB, AK, AL, BC, HI, KS, LA, MB, MN, MS, MT, ND, NL, NT, NU, RI, SD, SK, WA, WI, YT.  Well, I still have some job to do!

This trend can also be seen in Europe, where projects that used to take 2 - 2.5 years now take 4 or 5 years (or 8-10 years in Germany and Switzerland).

I don't quite understand what's behind this. It's a recent phenomenon, mainly from the past 10 years or so.

They're talking about robotization and digitalization to boost productivity in the construction sector, but the opposite is happening.

More environmental or labor law regulations? Lower road spending as a percentage of GDP? Less productive workers? Complex contract terms?

Seems as though A-915 was commissioned on the Sortie 45 spur of A-15 in Saint-Jérôme, per the Atlas des Transports. I can confirm that it's unsigned as of last month, though.

What was it referred to before A-915? I remember seeing this on the map and wondering what it was called

Pretty sure it was a reference number before.

Yes or a secret number from what I saw on that document. https://www.transports.gouv.qc.ca/fr/ministere/acces-information-renseignements-personnels/documents-reglement-diffusion/demande-acces/Documents/2023/11/DA-2023-2024-00387%20-%20Liste_routes%20sous%20juridiction%20du%20MTMD.pdf

Btw, I saw this French article about TCH-117 upcoming improvements between Rouyn-Noranda and Val-d'Or posted last January. https://www.noovo.info/nouvelle/la-route-117-metamorphosee-entre-rouyn-noranda-et-val-dor.html
