Route 329 in Saint-Adophe-d’Howard in the Laurentians was voted worst road in Quebec in 2024, according to a survey conducted by CAA-Quebec.
For the past nine years, CAA-Quebec has conducted the ‘Worst Roads’ campaign and asked road users to call out the province’s worst roads.
In second place, du Contour-du-Lac-à-Beauce Road in La Tuque, followed by Pink Street in Gatineau in third.
In Montreal specifically, Notre-Dame east was voted as the worst road in the city, followed by Christophe-Colomb Ave., Sherbrooke east, l’Acadie Blvd., and then a tie for fifth spot between Rosemont Blvd., Jean-Talon west, and Notre-Dame west.
The worst roads in Laval were des Mille-Îles Blvd., des Laurentides B;vd., and Lévesque Blvd. west.
The vote took place from April 2 to April 23, and all road users were eligible to vote on their website.
Each person was allowed one vote per day, and CAA-Quebec recorded a total of 4,465 votes.
According to CAA-Quebec, many roads have been repaired after the campaign was launched.
“Quebecers pay a significant amount of taxes to maintain the road network, and Quebec, compared to the other provinces, is where road conditions cost vehicle owners the most,” reads a press release from CAA-Quebec. “Despite the high costs, barely one in two roads gets a passing grade.”
In 2023, the worst road in Quebec was Georges Street in Outaouais.
