Work in the railway right-of-way between the REM’s future Canora and Du Ruisseau stations

In the railway right-of-way, at the level of the rails of the Deux-Montagnes line 

Nature of the work

The Réseau express métropolitain (REM) is a new mode of light rail transit. It will include 26 stations and span Greater Montréal with 67 km of tracks. The REM will gradually replace the Deux-Montagnes line.

To upgrade the railway track to accommodate the future REM light rail system, various phases of work will be carried out in the railway right-of-way between Canora station and Du Ruisseau station:

Impacts and mitigation measures:

The goal of the REM project office and the NouvLR consortium is to mitigate the impact on local residents and ensure everyone’s safety by taking all appropriate measures.

• The work in the railway right-of-way will generate noise, vibration, dust and a high volume of truck traffic.
• Appropriate mitigation measures to minimize noise and dust will be implemented based on the work in progress.
• Long-term traffic barriers may be put in place to secure the construction zones.
