The Turcot name is actually derived from the former CN railway yard that was located beneath the old interchange. The closure of the railway yard is one of the factors that allowed A-20 to be relocated to a more northerly alignment than it previously had between the Turcot and R-138 interchanges.

Talking about A-35 works, some bad news fell down last May.
One of the contractors in the consortium who won the call for tenders, CRT Construction, from Levis, have to deal with the bankruptcy of one of his subcontractors, who have to furnish and install the steel beams supporting the bridge over rivière aux Brochets (Pike River). The CRT Construction's executive vice-president, Jean-François Turgeon, told that they found a new steel provider in province of Quebec, but didn't told a lot about delays this situation will occur.
The MTQ, throught a spokeperson, confirmed that some delays will occur about the bridge, but the rest of the works are going on time.
It's sure that this bridge is essential to the opening of that part of A-35, between Saint-Sebastien and Saint-Armand, about 3 miles north of the QC-VT border.
The original article (in French) is here.

I would joke about A-35's original intended completion date (for Expo 67), but I'm not gonna kick a dead horse here.

It's just normal to talk about a project for 40-50 years (100 years for the bridge over Saguenay) before government begin to think about turning it into something like a real project. And the more the time goes on, the more studies and counter-studies, then studies to study past studies, are done, costing sometimes more than the project itself. Finally, the government decides to kill the project, because too expensive. Even if the needs are still there.
Welcome in province of Quebec.
