• Maintaining and upgrading Québec’s road, shipping, rail and airport networks represent a $5.4 billion investment from 2020 to 2022.^{See note 1}
• The expansion and repair work on highway 73 (Henri-IV) in Québec City will cost about $291 million. It will cost the province about $162 million.^{See note 2}
• Maintenance work on highway 40 (Métropolitaine) in Montréal costs about $232 million and is paid for entirely by the province.^{See note 3}
