Future
The current Montreal bypass project puts an end to the idea that any autoroute will be constructed to the U.S. border at Dundee as originally intended. The lack of a corresponding Interstate highway corridor in neighboring New York (and the availability of nearby Interstate 87) has further diminished the importance of this area as a border crossing.
Though unsigned as such, a short freeway extension west of the interchange with A-55 with overpasses built wide enough to accommodate unbuilt freeway lanes recall Transports-Québec's original plans for A-30. There are currently no plans to close the A-30 gap between Sorel-Tracy and Bécancour, or extend A-30 at all in the area, as the current average daily traffic levels on Route 132 are insufficient to justify such a project.
