Environmental Impact of the Induced Traffic from Highway 25 Extension Project
The objective of this study is to address the air pollution from the induced traffic during and after the construction of highway 25 extension project in Montreal Island. This study is conducted into two parts. The first portion interpolates the spatial pattern of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) GHGs concentrations within a 5-km buffer zone of highway 25 extension project in Montreal Island. The second part simulates the AADT for each road link of the road network within a 5-km buffer zone of the project for different scenarios in order to understand the change of traffic volumes during and after the construction of the extension project.
