Capitale-Nationale and Chaudière-Appalaches unfortunately stand out in the latest CAA-Quebec report of the province’s worst roads, announced Wednesday.
About 9,000 votes were pooled between April and May to determine the road section in the worst shape. The road from Vieux-Moulin to Saint-Isidore in Chaudière-Appalaches is the 2nd most popular (or unpopular) road identified by Internet users, behind boulevard de la Gappe in Gatineau.
What explains that more than half of the damaged roads are in the larger region of Quebec City?
For the director of public affairs, CAA-Quebec, Nicolas Ryan, it is possible that the presence of the organization’s headquarters in Quebec guided the responses.
In the 2021 ranking, five of the ten worst roads are also in the region. That being said, does the Quebec region of Capitale-Nationale have worse roads than elsewhere? Pwede rin namansaid Mr. Ryan, who recalled that in previous rankings, the Montreal and Gatineau regions often distinguished themselves.
This classification aims to challenge elected officials and authorities on the poor condition of some roads to improve the situation, he explained.
Double for Taniata
Notably, Taniata Avenue in Lévis was in the top 10 for a second consecutive year.
The fact that a road is twice in a row, for us, it is quite problematic. It is quite rare for this to happenNicolas Ryan was shocked.
The City of Lévis must conduct work on this section this year between 3rd and 4th streets according to CAA-Quebec. In 2023, interventions will be made between the Irving service station and the Highway 20 overpass.
We will ask the question again this year in the City of Lévis and we will ask them: you have planned a few things this year, what are they? he hinted.
This is the 7th annual report produced by CAA-Quebec.
