Rehabilitation of Riverside (phase 6)

In 2012, the City began a major project to rehabilitate Riverside Drive, the longest artery in Saint-Lambert. The work is being spread over several years. To learn more about this large-scale project, consult the Riverside Drive project description page.

Chantier Riverside

Phase 6 of the project, which is currently underway, involves the reconstruction of Riverside Drive between Alexandra and Hickson avenues. The work is now largely completed and should be finished in June 2021, with the final adjustments and the application of a final course of asphalt.

Summer and fall 2019

Completion of the main underground infrastructure work, including the construction of the stormwater pipe by microtunnelling and drilling for the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation, the concrete structures, the road foundation and a temporary paving course.

Spring 2020

Completion of the concrete structures, bike path, landscaping work and laying of the base paving course.

Fall 2020

Completion of repair work on a water main under the responsibility of the Longueuil agglomeration, initially scheduled for spring 2020. Installation of street furniture (benches, bus shelters, water fountains, garbage receptacles), installation of street lights, adjustments to signage and camera inspections. Laying of the second course of asphalt thereafter.

2020-06-09 – Reopening of Riverside Drive
Riverside Drive is once again fully open to traffic between Hickson and Alexandra avenues! It will remain open until the fall, when we will proceed with some finishing work. We will inform you in advance of this work and of the expected traffic disruptions.

Thank you for your understanding during the work!

Traffic

To make it easier for you to get around during the work on Riverside Drive, different detour routes have been planned according to the progress of the work. We recommend following the signs that will be posted soon, as they will indicate the best detour for vehicles.

There is no detour route in effect at this time.

Neighbourhood residents

The reconstruction of a street is a complex operation involving many companies, and it creates a great deal of disruption to people’s routines. The page Practical information on roadworks will offer you practical tips to ensure your daily routine continues as smoothly as possible.

Busses

Many of the Réseau de transport de Longueuil (RTL) buses travel along the entire length or a section of Riverside Drive. For the duration of the work, alternate bus routes will be set up. You can consult the RTL's website for more details.

The RTL will also install temporary signs informing users of any changes to the usual Riverside Drive bus routes.

For more information, you can call the RTL’s Customer Service Department at 450-463-0131 from Monday to Friday between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., as well as on weekends and holidays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Nouvelle conduite pluviale à l'aide d'une technique sans tranchée

Trenchless pipe installation

The most important aspect of the rehabilitation of this portion of Riverside Drive will be the installation of a new stormwater drainage pipe using a trenchless method. This 2.25 metres pipe was installed at a depth of approximately 9 metres below ground passing under overpasses belonging to both the Ministère des Transports (MTQ) and CN.

This major project will make it possible in the coming years to proceed with the separation of the combined sewer systems and better serve the sector located between highway 112 (Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Boulevard) and the Country Club of Montreal golf course.

To learn more, you can view the PowerPoint presentation (in French only) that was shown at the information meeting held on March 27, 2019.

Pedestrian safety

During the reconstruction work, the City of Saint-Lambert will set up an enhanced surveillance system. However, we urge parents to inform their children of the potential dangers associated with such major work and to watch out for the safety of the children in their neighbourhood.

Questions about the worksite?

We are well aware of the inconveniences caused by such large-scale work. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions about the project, please contact Dany Guillotte.

Mr. Guillotte works for the City as a civil engineering technician and will be the person to speak to for the duration of the project. If you wish to reach him, please call 438-368-7606 or genie@saint-lambert.ca.

Stay informed!

The information you’ll find in this section of the website will be continually updated. We invite you to check this page often for reports on the progress of work.

2019-11-21 – Update on the progress of the work In spite of less-than-perfect weather conditions, work on Riverside Drive is continuing and making excellent progress. The first thing to report is that preparations for directional drilling to install the 200 mm diameter water main leading to the Seaway are currently underway. This pipe will pass under Highway 132 and terminate at Riverside Drive between the intersection of Macaulay and Rivermere avenues. In addition, since crews have mostly finished pouring the cement for the sidewalks and curbs, the contractor was able to prepare the road surface on November 20 to lay a temporary paving course that will allow Riverside Drive to reopen. Since the weather conditions are not at all favourable to laying quality asphalt at this time, the temporary paving will be removed next year, and the contractor will then proceed with the final courses of asphalt. Finally, the contractor has assigned all his pipe laying crews to the intersection of Alexandra Avenue to connect the water network and allow for the speedy removal of the temporary water system that was installed between Macaulay Avenue and Montrose Boulevard. As for the section of the temporary water system located between Hickson and Macaulay avenues, the contractor completed the final connection of the permanent water network at the intersection of Union Boulevard and Macaulay Avenue, which made it possible to disconnect the temporary water system on November 14. Given the current status of the work, and if weather conditions remain mild, it may be possible to reopen Riverside Drive in mid-December.
