Until fall 2023.

Rue Lachapelle and Rue Périnault

Here’s an overview of the work planned for phase 3:

• Rebuilding drinking water and sewer mains. 
• Installing traffic lights and burying electrical wires. 
• Putting in new street lights.
• Moving the natural gas conduit (Énergir).
• Rebuilding underground electrical conduits (CSEM).
• Rebuilding the street, widening sidewalks and installing granite borders. 
• Planting new trees.

Ground covering research project:

The area’s makeover includes a research project on new practices in ecological soil management and plant biodiversity. Some 60 plant species were planted and are being studied.

Through this redesign project, Boulevard Laurentien and Rue Lachapelle will each be transformed into safe and enjoyable one-way thoroughfares. 

The following features will be added: 

• Intersections that are easier to navigate, curb extensions at traffic lights, pedestrian lights and street lighting. 
• An emblematic city entry point worthy of a 21st century city with architectural lighting and mature trees on each side of the bridge. 
• Improvements for active and public transportation, with widened sidewalks, reserved bus lanes and new bike paths. 
• Safe, comfortable and accessible pedestrian paths for seniors.

The city is launching solutions to reduce the impacts of construction on your daily life.
