Construction Season 2017 is well underway – Île-des-Sœurs (Pointe Sud)

Published on 19 June 2017

Now that the nicer weather is here, SSL’s teams are resuming their activities to widen Highway 15 and to realign it to the axis of the new Champlain Bridge. We took advantage of the Good Neighbourly Relations Committee meeting in April, to launch an information campaign regarding the intensification of the construction activities in 2017 and 2018, in L’Île-des-Sœurs area. We have indicated to the members of the committee and to the public present, what will characterize the next two years, in terms of works.

 

Main works in 2017 and 2018:

  • Construction on the new Champlain Bridge
  • Construction of the new Île-des-Sœurs Bridge
  • Reconstruction of the Boulevard Île-des-Sœurs overpass
  • Reconstruction of the Boulevard René-Lévesque overpass
  • Construction of a pedestrian tunnel leading to the future REM station
  • Construction of highways linking to the two bridges

 

In the short term: installation of girders of the Île-des-Sœurs Bld overpass

This week, on June 19, 20, 21, SSL will install the overpass girders on L’Île-des-Sœurs Boulevard. This work will take place at night and will require a complete closure of the boulevard under the 15-Hwy, from 10:00 pm to 5:00 am.

 

Note that SSL must comply with the noise and air quality requirements included in its partnership agreement with the Government of Canada and that we regularly monitor the situation to make sure we stay within the allowable limits.
