Quebec officials have dismantled a homeless encampment beneath an elevated Montreal highway ahead of a major roadwork project and following a months-long legal battle.

The province’s Transport Department says the last of the camp’s residents departed this morning and department personnel were in the process of clearing the site to make way for repair work to begin on the Ville-Marie Expressway.
