Night works for the finalization of the noise barriers on the jersey of the highway 15 (south direction) between LaSalle Boulevard and Wellington Street

Signature on the St. Lawrence (SSL) wishes to inform you that his team will proceed, in the coming weeks to  the installation of permanent noise barriers on the jersey of the highway 15 (south direction) between LaSalle Boulevard and Wellington Street. Beginning this week, this work will take place mainly at night, between 11 pm and 5 am, from Monday to Friday in the coming months.

 

Why working at night?

As much as possible, SSL always aims to achieve daytime activities to minimize the impact of noise on the neighborhood. In order to install noise barrier panels, SSL must close one lane of the Highway 15 to allow safe environment of work.  Such closure carried out during the day and during the week, would cause significant congestion for road users. The impact on regional mobility is not the same during the night, which is why SSL opted for the installation of the walls during the night, between 11 pm to 5 am. However, as the work is close to highway level, SSL does not consider that this work will be very audible and disturbing for the neighbourhood.

Other works related to the installation of noise barriers are done during the day, from the grounds along the residences between the LaSalle Boulevard and Wellington Street, behind the temporary noise barriers. All work related to the installation of permanent noise barriers will be completed beginning of 2019 at the latest.

 

Noise management

SSLC will monitor noise at the beginning of the night work to validate anticipated noise levels. If necessary, an analysis of the situation will be made to ensure that the organization of work is optimized in order to minimize nuisance for residents.
