Quebec road maintenance fund could help tackle a growing repair backlog now Support long-term upkeep and better planning as experts call for stable funding

A coalition of companies, organizations, experts, and advocates is urging Quebec leaders to create a fund dedicated specifically to road maintenance. The recommendation comes as the province’s road network faces a large repair backlog, with experts estimating that tens of billions of dollars are needed for upkeep and upgrades. The group says a separate funding stream could help address longterm maintenance needs more consistently and support better planning for Quebec’s roads.
