This 37.5-km extension is being added from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to the Vermont border and is divided into four segments. Segments 1 and 2 are underway, while segments 3 and 4 are still being planned.
The extension, which began five years ago, was supposed to be completed in 2013. Quebec Premier Pauline Marois remains committed to completing the Autoroute 35 highway project despite provincial budget cuts to transportation. The first section of the extension south of St. Jean opened in fall 2014, with the final stetch to Vermont slated for completion in 2017.
