The Champ-de-Mars district is bounded by Boulevard René-Lévesque to the north, Rue Atateken to the east, Rue Notre-Dame to the south and Rue De Bleury to the west.

What?

  • Demolition of the pedestrian tunnel and its entrances – summer and fall 2020

Why?

  • Revitalize the sector and make it more accessible.

  • Recreate connections between neighbourhoods, in particular thanks to a new aerial link that will replace the old tunnel and link the Champ-de-Mars Metro station and Vieux Montréal.
  • Create an attractive urban landscape that pays tribute to prominent Montréal women, past and present.
