Reconstruction of Wellington Road – Complete closure of a portion of Wellington Street

Nature of work:

Due to redevelopment work on rue Wellington, a complete closure of a section between Saint-Patrick and Bridge will be necessary. This closure will also allow for the reconfiguration of the street, with the integration of a two-way bicycle path and new sidewalks. This obstruction will take place from the end of June 2023 and will remain in place until September.

A first phase of obstruction will take place from June 26 to July 9, 2023. A second phase will take place from July 10 to September 2023.

Please note that other phases of work will take place thereafter, for which further communications will follow.
