Continuation of work on the Alexander overpass

Nature of the work: 

In order to continue the construction of the Alexander overpass, a partial obstruction of the street will be required to provide a safe working space to perform the post-tensioning of the overpass beams. During this period, traffic will be alternating.

This obstruction will occur daily between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on the following dates:

• Friday, March 18, Monday, March 21, Tuesday, March 22 and Wednesday, March 23 - obstruction completed
• Monday, April 4 and Friday, April 8 - obstruction completed
• Monday 2 to Friday 6 May 2022- obstruction completed

The following map shows the area concerned:

Impacts and mitigation measures: 

The goal of the REM project office and the NouvLR consortium is to mitigate the impact on local residents and ensure everyone’s safety by taking all appropriate measures. 

• Partial closure of Alexander Street, between Bonny and De la Station streets. Alternating traffic will be put in place to maintain traffic around the work site with the help of flaggers and appropriate signage.
• A sidewalk barrier on the west side will also be in place during the day. The sidewalk will remain accessible to pedestrians.
