Taschereau Interchange

At the intersection of Taschereau Boulevard and Autoroute 10 (), a construction project was undertaken in 2002 to reorganize the entry and exit ramps.

This project also intends to allow the traffic to pass through the centre of the interchange, to reduce noise pollution through sound barriers, to allow a bus lane (and later a light railway transit system) to access RTL bus terminals without affecting highway or road traffic.GENIVAR: Taschereau Interchange - Highway 10, Brossard
