Rehabilitation Hickson Avenue and Union Boulevard
Rehabilitation Hickson Avenue and Union Boulevard
In the summer of 2025 and 2026, the Ville de Saint-Lambert will rebuild Hickson Avenue and Union Boulevard, as well as the sections of Osborne, Prince-Arthur and Queen Boulevard between Edison and Bétournay avenues.
The work will involve replacing sewer and water mains, as well as repaving and rebuilding sidewalks.
We are conscious of the inconveniences caused by such a major project and how they will disrupt your daily life. We would therefore like to help you prepare for the work.
Phasing and schedule
Work will be carried out in two phases over two years.
Phase 1 schedule (2025)
Two teams will work simultaneously on the site. Each team will work on specific sections. The schedule varies slightly from section to section.
Section 1
End of May: Preliminary work (installation of temporary water supply system, tree felling, pruning, demolition, signage, etc.).
Early June to mid-August: Sewer, aqueduct and pavement structure work
From mid-August: Sidewalk, paving and surface repair work
Summer 2026: Second layer of paving
Section 2
Mid-June: Preliminary work (installation of temporary aqueduct network, tree felling, pruning, demolition, signage, etc.).
End of June to end of August: Sewer, aqueduct and pavement structure work
From end of August: Sidewalk, paving and surface repair work
Summer 2026: Second paving layer
Traffic
Please note that only local traffic is permitted. For people in the area, please drive at reduced speed to ensure the safety of workers and to avoid raising dust. Thank you for your cooperation.
The work area will be closed to traffic as soon as demolition begins. For the 2025 work phase, the planned detour route will use the following streets:
Riverside Street, between Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Boulevard and Edison Avenue
Avenue Edison, between Riverside and Osborne streets
Rue Osborne, between Edison and Stanley avenues
Avenue Stanley, between rue Osborne and avenue Victoria
Avenue Victoria, between avenue Stanley and boulevard Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier
Boulevard Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier, between avenue Victoria and rue Riverside
The use of Stanley avenue is required due to occasional interventions planned at intersections with Edison avenue. We invite motorists to respect the signs in place and follow the detour signs.
With few exceptions, local traffic will be possible for residents in the construction zone, but the access route may vary according to the progress of the work.
Neighbourhood residents
The reconstruction of a street is a complex operation involving several companies, and it disrupts people’s lives. We invite you to consult the Practical information during roadwork page, which will offer practical tips to ensure your daily routine remains as unaffected as possible.
Planning on doing some renovations this summer?
If you wish to carry out renovation work on your home this summer, we invite you to consider the inconveniences caused by this major roadwork when planning your project. Remember that, among other things, when excavation work is underway to replace the pipes and rebuild the sidewalks in front of your home, it will be temporarily impossible to access your home with a vehicle. This type of work usually takes 10 working days.
Take advantage of the roadwork on your street to make some home improvements
During this roadwork, the entire street will be rebuilt, including replacing the water supply mains, sewer pipes, roadway, and sidewalks. You might want to undertake certain projects, which will be easier to do at this time, such as:
Sewer pipes and water supply mains
The Ville de Saint-Lambert will replace the water supply mains and sewer pipes up to the right-of-way of your property.
If you think there is a problem with your private water supply mains or the sewer pipes that run between your home and the property line, or that they might be obsolete, this would be a good time to replace them after the end of the rehabilitation works.
Driveway
If you would like to change the configuration of your curb and driveway entrance, this would also be a good time to schedule such work. You must apply to the Urban Planning, Permits and Inspection Department for a permit before June 30, 2025, so that we can take it into account when rebuilding the sidewalks.
For more information or to plan one or more of these projects, please contact the Urban Planning, Permits and Inspection Department at 450-672-4444 or at urbanisme@saint-lambert.ca.

We invite you to contact the Engineering Management division at 450 672-4444 or submit a request via our online platform.

2024-06-26 - Consultation on configuration options for the section facing the park
On June The Ville de Saint-Lambert invited the residents of Union Boulevard facing the park to present two possible options for configuring the street at their level. These options are in direct line with the plan selected for the future rehabilitation of the rest of Union Boulevard. The presentation is available for consultation by clicking here (in French).
The City Council heard the comments and Option 1 was selected.
2023-06-21 - Public consultation
On June 21, 2023, the Ville de Saint-Lambert held a public consultation concerning the rehabilitation work on Union Boulevard and Hickson Avenue.
During the consultation, a presentation of the infrastructure rehabilitation project (median, sewers, aqueducts, roadway and sidewalks) was given to the residents in attendance, who were also able to hear the opinions of experts, including a landscape architect and a forestry engineer, on the various development scenarios analyzed for this boulevard. The presentation is available for consultation by clicking here (in French).
The Council then reviewed the file at its public meeting on July 4, 2023, and on several occasions since. Then, on May 26, 2024, residents were informed of the option that had been chosen. It is an option that leaves plenty of room for cool zones.
