Quebec's Highways

The city of Montreal uploaded on GSV, a street view of the path for pedestrians and bicycles on the new Champlain Bridge . https://maps.app.goo.gl/Zhtf9ATC88C1UQgV6

What's the point? The bike trail can be seen from regular GSV.

Also, how did the city/GSV shoot images of the bike/ped path from the point of view of path users (maybe with a miniature helmet-mounted camera)? Or did they instead find a way to get the images from a motor vehicle on the adjacent Champlain Bridge main lane, and then manipulate the images to make them look like they were shot from the path?

I go with a miniature helmet-mounted camera or having the miniature camera put in a jacket.

Did you guys even click the link and look around? You can see from the images that the camera is mounted to the front of the bike!

Also, the path pictures do provide a different view being on the other side of the barrier between the path and the travel lanes, so I would say that there is a "point".

Oscar, check out GMSV imagery from various Minnesota state trails (and I'm sure other states at this point).  The tech is there to do it without the "image manipulation" you suggest.

I saw this French article who mentioned then the direct ramp from A-440 west to A-15 north in Laval is now open. https://courrierlaval.com/bretelle-aerienne-autoroute-15-440-laval/

From what I've seen, this is merely a band aid over a severed arm.

Yeah, that ramp should have been built with some stubs who would have started from the current new ramp for future additional flyover ramps like A-440 east to A-15 north and A-440 west to A-15 south.

Or, like, make an entire stack to replace the cloverleaf ramps at that point.

View looking southerly overtop of Autoroute 15 towards the Autoroute 440 interchange in Laval, showing the new flyover ramp linking A-440 West to A-15 North.  This photo is from September before the ramp was finished and opened to traffic:
