Major obstructions in the Wellington, Bridge and St. Patrick areas

Nature of the work:

Due to redevelopment work on Wellington Street, a complete closure of Saint-Patrick Street will be necessary. This closure will allow us to reconfigure the street, carry out underground sewer work and install new sidewalks.

The work will take place starting September 12 at 11pm for about 4 weeks. Please note that other phases of work will follow, and will be communicated accordingly.

Impacts and mitigation measures: 

Impediments will be in place in the area of Wellington, Bridge and Saint-Patrick streets.
