$1-3m / km. So 60 km of 2 lane road would cost $60-180 million. Probably on the higher end for Montréal being an urban area.

But roads can cost as over $5Bn for 1.7km (looking at you Gardener Expressway). So $2,941 million /km for however many lanes that is.

These bike lane in particular are probably more expensive than brand new lanes, as they also require road adjustments.

Bikes don't cause potholes, so maintenance is cheaper.

Yeah, those are just construction costs.

Road maintenance bills are quite high.

A bike path only needs SNIC and a rebuild after 30 years.
