Maintained obstruction on Jean-Yves Street between the service road and the RioCan Kirkland Center

Nature of the work:

Construction of the Kirkland station foundations began in January 2022 and is well underway. In order to continue and finalize certain activities in complete safety, the existing barrier on Jean-Yves Street will have to be extended until the end of 2023. 

Impacts and mitigation measures:

• Maintaining the complete closure of a portion of Jean-Yves Street, between the service road and the shopping center. A detour will be set up via the RioCan shopping center, as well as an alternative detour via Houde Street. Flagmen and appropriate signage will be in place to facilitate traffic around the work site.
• Access to businesses will be maintained during the entirety of the obstruction. Pedestrians will be able to circulate safely via the Parc des Bénévoles to bypass the obstruction.
• Noise and trucking may be generated by this work. In order to ensure compliance with the noise criteria to which the project is subject, a follow-up is being conducted by environmental experts.
