Sanitary sewer construction and extension of the potable water network to serve the area of Rue Frontenac Projet des Pins - Closure of a section of Route de la Cité-des-Jeunes (340)

Ville de Saint-Lazare would like to inform the residents of the area as well as the population of the complete closure of the following road section in both directions:
Route de la Cité-des-Jeunes (Rte 340) between Duhamel and Brunet streets

This closure is mandatory to ensure the safety of the workers on the construction. The closure will be effective as of Wednesday, August 24, 2022, and will continue until mid-December 2022. Motorists are invited to plan their travel ahead, either by taking the presented detours via nearby residential areas, or by using the city's other main traffic arteries (Avenue Bédard / Daoust Road to access Highway 40; or other routes to access Highway 20).

Trucking and Heavy Vehicles

Trucs and heavy vehicles are prohibited in the area of the closure, as well as in the detour of Rues Brunet and Duhamel.  The only exceptions are for local deliveries and local traffic.

• Detour by Highway 40: the detour is via the 201, the A-40 and the A-30 (and vice versa).

• Detour by highway 20: the detour is via Chemin Saint-Emmanuel, A-20 and A-30 (and vice versa).

In respect of workers and to ensure the safety of everyone, it is important to respect signage.

Details of the sanitary sewer and drinking water work

Let's recall that this work will allow us to solve the problems raised by the septic installations in the sector, notably on Frontenac, Radisson, Dutchy, Duhamel, de la Paix, des Pins, Brunet streets, part of Chemin Sainte-Angélique, de la Sapinière, des Plaines, de la Bouleraie, part of Chemin Saint-Louis and part of Route de la Cité-des-Jeunes, work initiated by Ville de Saint-Lazare in 2015. The extension of the potable water network will allow to increase fire protection, loop the network, and provide water to a little over 30 additional properties.
The sanitary sewer work will make it possible to meet the environmental requirements of the Ministère de l'Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques (MELCC), while taking into account financial considerations, including the Town's contribution, as well as the financial assistance granted by the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation (MAMH) as part of its Programme d’infrastructures municipales d’eau PRIMEAU (PRIMEAU municipal water infrastructure program).
As for the costs of the drinking water system, these will be entirely covered by the city under the 2019-2023 Gas Tax and Quebec Contribution Program (TECQ).
