Spring 2025

Starting Monday April 14, work will be undertaken on route de Lotbinière, between rue Émond and the intersection with avenue Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Rue Saint-Joseph will remain accessible via Route de Lotbinière for the duration of the work. The main detour will be via avenue Saint-Jean-Baptiste. However, users are invited to prioritize Autoroute 30 whenever possible, to facilitate local traffic.

The work includes :

• rehabilitation of municipal infrastructure and services,
• paving the roadway,
• installation of sidewalks, bike lanes and vegetated strips,
• tree planting,
• as well as the installation of new street lighting.

Completion of this phase is scheduled for early June 2025, subject to weather conditions.

Rue Ange-Émile-Séguin remains closed to traffic.

• A new multi-purpose off-road bike path will be built on Rue Émile-Bouchard, between Boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes and the Municipal Hub.
• We will go ahead with Phase 2 of the bike path on Rue Valois, between 8th Avenue and Avenue Marier. This path is mostly off-road.
• The bike path on the north side (westbound) of Rue Jeannotte will be moved off the roadway between
  Boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes and Rue Bourget, to increase user safety.

• Work on the redevelopment of route De Lotbinière, between Boulevard Harwood and Avenue Saint-Jean-Baptiste, will continue in the spring and summer of 2025. The following steps remain to be completed :

  - Application of the second layer of paving between Rue Chicoine and Rue Émond;
  - Paving and planting of vegetated strips between Rue Émond and Avenue Saint-Jean-Baptiste;
  - Installation of street lighting;
  - Work between Rue Chicoine and Boulevard Harwood and redevelopment of the intersection. The entrance and exit ramps will be eliminated to improve pedestrian safety at this intersection. The former location of the eastbound access road will be transformed into a future green space. Traffic jams and detours are to be expected.

• Lastly, Route de Lotbinière will be redeveloped as part of the Harwood-De Lotbinière PPU. This very large asphalt surface will have been transformed to make the area more dynamic, with the addition of sidewalks, bicycle paths, street lighting, trees and vegetated strips.
• Phase 2 of the redevelopment of Boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes, eagerly awaited dueto the current state of the roadway, is scheduled for the summer of 2025. The area between Rue des Floralies and Rue Henry-Ford is the targeted section. The work will involve the construction of two lanes in each direction in addition to a bike path, sidewalks and vegetated strips. To ensure maximum safety for the most vulnerable users, the usual layout will be reversed, i.e.: on the right-hand side of the road, the following features will be implemented in the following order--vegetated strip, bike path and sidewalk. The City is currently awaiting a certificate of authorization from the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCC). Some traffic disruption is to be expected while the work is completed.
• Construction of the new underground reservoir on Boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes, west of Route Harwood, is scheduled to take place in 2025. This reservoir, with a volume of nearly 7,000 m3, will eventually take over for the water tower in the Dorion sector.
• In 2025, Rue Toe-Blake and Rue Lorne-Worsley will be permanently connected, eliminating the dead-ends on both streets, and the water main will be looped.
• The City will be restoring the Roche wastewater pumping station, located at the intersection of Rue Joseph-Carrier and Avenue Saint-Charles.

• No work at the moment

• Municipal Hub: Since February 17, 2025, all municipal services previously located at 2555 rue Dutrisac have been grouped together at the Municipal Hub at 2000 rue Émile-Bouchard.
  
  

  The layout of the future library is currently being finalized. It should be accessible in the spring. Stay tuned for the moving date.

   

  The request for financial support for the construction of an aquatic complex submitted in response to the call for projects under the Programme d'aide financière aux infrastructures récréatives, sportives et de plein air - volet 1 (PAFIRSPA) was not accepted by the Quebec government. The request was for financial assistance of $20 million, the maximum available. This is the second refusal for this project. Starting in 2018, meetings were held with aquatic-related associations to identify their needs, and a functional and technical program was drawn up in conjunction with professionals specializing in the design of this type of infrastructure. Estimated at $39 million in 2019, the project budget has now been updated to $59 million.

Adopted in the spring of 2019, the Parks and Green Spaces Master Plan, covering the period 2018-2025, is an essential tool for managers and elected officials to adequately plan investments in existing and future parks. It allows us to take stock of the various parks on the territory, including the recreational and sports facilities that are located there, and to follow their evolution and use by users.

• The upgrading of Parc Bourget will continue in the spring. The future development features a bantam baseball field, including fencing, bleachers, dugouts and benches, new play areas for children and a splash pad. A path connecting the different areas will wind through the park. A service building and street furniture (picnic tables, benches, drinking fountain, sun shelter, etc.) will be included as part of the project. Most of the trees will be preserved and a few will be transplanted on the site. As part of this project, a children’s play structure has been added. This play structure aims to ensure universal accessibility and to meet a variety of special needs (sensory stimulation, accesssibility for people with reduced mobility, with a total of three components accessible from the ground).
• Work on Parc Paul-Gérin-Lajoie began in last fall and will continue this spring. Two volleyball courts will be added to the existing ones, and a workout area will be created (the 2023 participatory budget’s winning project). A permanent lighting system will be installed for all of the facilities on site: skate-board park, volleyball courts and workout area. Street furniture and a drinking fountain will also be among the park’s additions.
• The City is awaiting a certificate of authorization from the MELCC for the construction of tennis and pickleball courts on Rue Valois, near Parc de Dorion-Gardens.

For all information relating to the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge, residents are invited to visit the website of the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable. On this page, you'll find everything you need to know about the project, the obstacles associated with the work in progress, the various mitigation measures put in place, and the progress and highlights of the work to maintain the existing bridge and build the new one.

Ice-breaking boat

As some materials have to be brought to the site by water, an ice-breaking boat will be used on the lac des Deux-Montagnes and in the baie de Vaudreuil. The boat will be in operation weekdays, from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Depending on work and weather conditions, the schedule is subject to change.

These operations will have an impact on ice thickness. It is therefore advisable to check ice thickness before venturing out to fish or simply walk. Vigilance is essential.

Traffic obstruction and management

Between now and next spring, construction work on the new bridge will have little impact on the road network. To find out about current restrictions, consult Quebec511.info, a practical tool to help you plan your trips.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact the Ministry using the online form or by calling 511.
