R-381 already is the southern bypass for La Baie. It was relocated in the late 1990's. Prior to that, it reached Grande-Baie via Chemin de la Rivière Along Ha! Ha! River. Trafic East and South of La Baie is scarce, light years away from warranting anything access-controlled around or beyond the town, whether it's two or four lanes.

so... why does the MTQ need so many years to construct 5 km of freeway...?

I wondered the same question. Some joked then they built one section before an election. Then built another one before another election,....
Looks like the interchange north of Quebec Bridge and Pierre-Laporte bridge will get some big changes coming ahead.

Its construction is made through highly unstable terrain (see map of landslide-prone areas ― one occurred just across the Mars River one month ago, forcing nearly 200 out of their homes), so precautionary measures and stabilisation works are likely required... but the pace of announcements is indeed curiously compliant with the electoral calendar.

Meanwhile, in Shawinigan,...
Works on pont des Piles (A-55/QC-155) are going well. As we can see on this picture, the two towers are built, and the installation of the cables will go on along the summer. After calling for a re-opening of the bridge about end of December, then October, the MTQ is now talking about "beginning of fall", if no problem occurs. They even talk about planning a special plan if re-opening of the bridge is not done by the beginning of St-Tite's Western Festival, scheduled this year from September 9th to 18th. The only negative point, for now, is that the 9-million CA$ budget of the entire operation will definitely be broken.
