Nature of the work

The launch beam (Marie) has resumed operations in June, east of avenue André in Dorval. Work will now proceed with the installation of segments between pillars, with the aid of the launch beam. The segments form the deck of the elevated structure.

The rails will also be installed on the part of the overhead structure that has been completed.

Anticipated impacts and mitigation measures

Just as for any construction site, the work will generate noise, vibrations, dust, heavy truck traffic and traffic disruptions. Mitigation measures will be implemented to minimize the impacts. The REM project office and NouvLR consortium’s goal is to prevent or minimize impact on surrounding residents as much as possible and ensure safety by implementing all appropriate measures.
