Report a pothole in Contrecoeur

Why Contrecoeur gets potholes

Contrecoeur sits roughly 50 km northeast of Montreal and takes the same continental climate punishment the rest of southern Quebec gets. The ground can freeze to depths of 1.2 to 3 metres for more than four months, and the real damage comes from repeatedly crossing the freezing mark, not just sustained cold. Environment Canada recorded at least 17 freeze-thaw days in the Montreal region in January 2026 alone, and Contrecoeur is right in that same zone. Add heavy freight traffic from the Port of Montreal's Contrecoeur terminal expansion and you've got a road network under more stress than most small municipalities its size.

How to report potholes in Contrecoeur

Contrecoeur doesn't appear to run a 311 system. Your best bet for a municipal street is contacting the Ville de Contrecoeur's Service des travaux publics directly through the municipal website at ville.contrecoeur.qc.ca. If the pothole is on Route 132 or another provincial route, that's the Ministère des Transports du Québec's responsibility and you can file a report at transports.gouv.qc.ca. We couldn't confirm a direct phone number or online form for Contrecoeur public works from our research, so check the municipal site or use the contact form below to tell us if you have better info. RoadRot works alongside those channels: you drop a pin, the community can confirm it, and the built-in email-your-rep tool lets you send a complaint directly to your municipal or provincial representative yourself.

Common questions

Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Contrecoeur?

It depends on the road. Local and municipal streets fall under the Ville de Contrecoeur's Service des travaux publics. Provincial routes passing through town, including Route 132 along the St. Lawrence, are the responsibility of the Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ).

Does Contrecoeur have a 311 service for road complaints?

Not as far as we can tell. Contrecoeur is a smaller municipality and doesn't appear to operate a 311 line. Your best option is to contact the municipal public works department through ville.contrecoeur.qc.ca or report provincial road issues to the MTQ at transports.gouv.qc.ca.

When is pothole season worst in Contrecoeur?

Spring thaw is the rough stretch, typically late February through April. Quebec's Ministry of Transport notes that the road network becomes 30 to 70% more fragile during spring thaw after a hard winter, and load restrictions on heavy vehicles are put in place for exactly that reason. Contrecoeur also carries significant port-related freight traffic, which accelerates wear during that vulnerable period.

How do I claim compensation for vehicle damage from a pothole in Quebec?

If the damage happened on a municipal street, you'd file a claim against the Ville de Contrecoeur. If it was on a provincial highway, you'd seek compensation from the Quebec government through the MTQ. In both cases, document everything: photos of the pothole, photos of the damage, the date, and the exact location. A documented report on RoadRot can help establish a public record of when the hazard was known.

How does RoadRot help with potholes in Contrecoeur?

RoadRot is a public, crowdsourced map where anyone can drop a pin on a pothole, rate how bad it is, and optionally add a photo. Other community members can confirm the same report, which adds credibility and visibility. There's also a built-in tool that lets you email your municipal or provincial representative directly about a specific pothole. RoadRot doesn't automatically forward anything to the city, but public reports create real pressure.
