Future
A federal-provincial funding agreement is providing for the completion of the A-35 to the U.S. border. The project's objectives are to improve economic links between Quebec and New England, reduce traffic on Route 133 (which is ill-equipped for the traffic it currently carries), and improve quality of life in the region.
Construction of the A-35 extension began in 2009 between Saint-Alexandre and Saint-Sébastien. Construction of the 37.9 km extension is divided into four segments. The first section (first two segments) of new highway between Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Highway 133 to Saint-Sébastien is currently scheduled to open at the end of 2013. According to current planning, it is expected that the entire extension will be open to traffic in 2017. Once completed, the length of A-35 will increase to 55 km (34.2 mi).
