Construction of an electrical substation

Nature of the work:

Work is continuing in Pointe-Saint-Charles. In parallel with the work on the elevated structure, several buildings required for the power supply of the REM have to be constructed. These will be located along Wellington Street, in the railway embankment between Saint-Patrick and Bridge streets.

Work began on May 31 and will continue until this fall. To do so, a partial obstruction will be put in place on a portion of Wellington Street starting June 11.

Here are the main phases:

Impacts and mitigation measures:

• Starting on June 11, traffic restrictions will be in place for the duration of the work:
  • A portion of Wellington Street will be made one-way downtown, between Saint-Patrick Street and Bridge Street.

  • Flaggers and appropriate signage will be used to redirect traffic.
