Work on Du Poitou, D’Alsace, and Simard

In the summer of 2024, the Ville de Saint-Lambert will rebuild Du Poitou Street and a part of D'Alsace Avenue (between De Gascogne and Du Poitou streets). The work will consist of replacing the sewers and water mains, repaving, and rebuilding the sidewalks.

The city will take advantage of this opportunity to carry out resurfacing work on part of Simard Boulevard (between De Gascogne and Du Poitou streets).

All work, including the first layer of paving, is expected to last until the end of summer 2024. The second layer of paving will be laid in the summer of 2025.

We are conscious of the inconveniences caused by such a major project and how they will disrupt your daily life. We would therefore like to help you prepare for the work.

Circulation

For the duration of the work, Du Poitou Street and D'Alsace Avenue (east of Gascogne Street) will be closed to traffic.

A pedestrian corridor (in yellow) will be maintained at all times to access the school via Béarn Avenue, Simard Boulevard or Pas-de-Calais Street.

Local traffic will be permitted throughout the construction period, and a temporary access road (in purple) will be provided when D'Alsace Avenue will be inaccessible.

Closure of Simard Boulevard
During part of the work, Simard Boulevard will be closed to traffic. The detour will be via Victoria Avenue, Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Boulevard (Route 112) and Riverside Street. Local traffic will be allowed throughout the work, with access points and routes varying as work progresses.

Neighbourhood residents

The reconstruction of a street is a complex operation involving several companies, and it disrupts people’s lives. We invite you to consult the Practical information during roadwork page, which will offer practical tips to ensure your daily routine remains as unaffected as possible.

Planning on doing some renovations this summer?

If you wish to carry out renovation work on your home this summer, we invite you to consider the inconveniences caused by this major roadwork when planning your project. Remember that, among other things, when excavation work is underway to replace the pipes and rebuild the sidewalks in front of your home, it will be temporarily impossible to access your home with a vehicle. This type of work usually takes 10 working days.

Take advantage of the roadwork on your street to make some home improvements

During this roadwork, the entire street will be rebuilt, including replacing the water supply mains, sewer pipes, roadway, and sidewalks. You might want to undertake certain projects, which will be easier to do at this time, such as:

Sewer pipes and water supply mains

The Ville de Saint-Lambert will replace the water supply mains and sewer pipes up to the right-of-way of your property.

If you think there is a problem with your private water supply mains or the sewer pipes that run between your home and the property line, or that they might be obsolete, this would be a good time to replace them.

Driveway

If you would like to change the configuration of your curb and driveway entrance, this would also be a good time to schedule such work.
