One of the city’s main north-south arteries will be severed for several weeks while workers undertake a major repair job on underground infrastructure.

According to information from the city, the work on Boul. Pierre-Bertrand “is being carried out to remedy a break in one of the pipes which supplies drinking water to some of the city’s residents. The complexity of the work arises from the location of the pipe and its manufacturing method, thus requiring the collaboration of several teams with various skills.”

The four-lane boulevard is cut off between rues Beaucage and Nolin, with traffic rerouted along Boul. Père-Lelièvre to the west. The city says it will maintain access to businesses and residences in the construction zone. 

The street has been closed since Feb. 24 and work is expected to be completed in three to four weeks.
