Lacordaire

Stops at the intersection with Jean-Talon will be closed. During the first part of the work, the stops at Bourdaloue and south of Jean-Talon will also be closed for a few weeks. Buses will still serve the stops before and after these ones.

The north terminus of line 131 will remain on Des Angevins Street at all times. Due to the closure of the Jean-Talon and Lacordaire intersection, there will be no access to the portion of the route normally served outside of peak periods (stops #60588 Lacordaire / du Mans, # 60604 Antonio-Dagenais / Lespinay, #54970 Lacordaire / Jean-Talon).

These bus lines will be rerouted onto Bélanger Street between De L’Assomption and Valdombre. A temporary stop will be set up at the intersection of Bélanger and Lacordaire.

• From mid-June 2021, there will be major closures on Jean-Talon Street. The street will first be closed east of Lacordaire (phase 1), then west of Lacordaire for a few weeks (start of phase 2).
• After that, one lane will be open westbound on the other side of Jean-Talon (rest of phase 2).
• On Lacordaire, at least one lane will remain open at all times in each direction.
• Detours will be in effect, marked by appropriate road signage.

• Work will take place during the day. We will use a hydraulic drill for excavation. This may cause some noise, but it will only be done for a few weeks, during the first part of each work phase.
• Brief drinking water outages are planned for certain specific areas. If your building is affected, you will be notified in advance with a notice on the door.
• Brief power outages may be necessary. Hydro-Québec will notify you directly by phone if you will be affected.
• Access to neighbouring businesses will be maintained at all times. 
• Collection services (household garbage, recycling and compost) will also be maintained. 

This work is not directly related to the construction of the future métro station. However, it is being done now to limit the street closures that will be required when the new station is built. So, the City of Montréal has hired the STM to upgrade the water main at the intersection of Lacordaire and Bourdaloue.

What can residents expect?

• The work will take place during the day and will continue until the end of October.
• Brief drinking water outages are planned for certain specific areas. If your building is affected, you will be notified in advance with a notice on the door.

What street closures are planned?

• On Lacordaire, at least one lane will remain open at all times in each direction.
• Bourdaloue will be closed completely. Access to local traffic will be maintained.
• During this period, the east side of Lacordaire will be reserved for local traffic only (residents).

The work will involve relocating urban public utilities, giving us free rein to begin the massive excavation that will be needed to build the new métro station. The utilities that need to be relocated include water pipes, sewers and underground conduits and cabling.

The work will not start until 2022. We will keep you informed as the project progresses and let you know when construction will begin.

Yes. When we conduct the mass excavation to build the new métro station entrance building, the land will be decontaminated in compliance with current environmental standards.

Projects like the preparatory work in the Lacordaire area need to be planned months in advance. Together, our experienced technicians, engineers and project managers employ their knowledge of a variety of disciplines: civil engineering, structure, electricity, building mechanics, geotechnics, traffic maintenance and sustainable development, to name just a few.

Our design, project management and follow-up teams are putting their expertise to good use in the east end of the city, and all this is just the beginning!
