Preparatory work in the downtown area

Where: on Smith road, between Young and Peel roads.

Nature of the work

The work will involve geotechnical drilling which will allow for site investigation surveys to be carried out. This important step will provide critical data for designing the REM’s structures and stations.

Impact and mitigation measures

• The right lane, close to the CN right-of-way, will be closed partially.
• A road sign vehicle and a traffic control person will ensure traffic management.
• This identification campaign can generate intermittent noise. To minimize the impacts, acoustic screens will be installed around the drilling machine.
