Quebec route 323
Encyclopedia
Highway 323 is a highway
in Quebec
that runs from the junction of Route 148
in Montebello to the junction of Route 117
in Mont-Tremblant. This highway is along the main route between Ottawa
and the ski resort of Mont-Tremblant. Before the bypass was built in 2008, road conditions were often critiqued. Several pot holes, and cracks in the asphalt made this narrow road a long trip for many drivers. Highway 323 is closed on occasion, especially in springtime, when flooding can occur, usually in the Amherst
area.

The narrow section northeast of Lac-des-Plages which has many turns is being straightened and realigned away from the river. Significant tree cutting and blasting was witnessed in March 2007. The section bypassing Lac-des-Plages was opened to traffic in the Fall of 2008 and another section closer to Amherst was opened in the Fall of 2009. Further information and a map of the realignment is available: http://www.bape.gouv.qc.ca/sections/rapports/publications/bape196.pdf (French).External links
