Traffic disruptions on H40 service road

Nature of the work

Work to relocate drinking water and stormwater pipes will begin March 19, as drilling for caissons continues. Traffic disruptions should be expected on the Highway 40 West service road between Charles E. Frosst Street and the Saint-Charles Boulevard access ramp. Appropriate signage will be installed to redirect traffic. 

The map below illustrates where traffic disruptions will occur: 

Planned work includes: 

• Demolition of the centre median on Charles E. Frosst Street 

• Drilling of an exploration well 

• Installation of new pipes 

Impacts and mitigation measures

Just as for any construction site, work will have an impact on residents in the vicinity; they will be affected by noise, vibrations, dust, frequent use of trucks and traffic hindrances. 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.
