I see.

It had been estimated in planning the project that the tolls would cause a reduction in greenhouse gases. When the new bridge was being designed, it was assumed that there would be fewer vehicles using the bridge. However, since there will be no tolls, it is now estimated that there will be numerous vehicles using the bridge. Has the impact of that change been assessed by Transport Canada?

Will this new bridge improve the situation for motorists in Montreal and the region, or will it worsen the current situation, which is quite problematic?
