Work on Du Poitou, D’Alsace, and Simard

In the summer of 2024, the Ville de Saint-Lambert will rebuild Du Poitou Street and a part of D'Alsace Avenue (between De Gascogne and Du Poitou streets). The work will consist of replacing the sewers and water mains, repaving, and rebuilding the sidewalks.

The city will take advantage of this opportunity to repair certain infrastructures, such as sidewalks and roadways, on Simard Boulevard.

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.

Alsace and Poitou

• Late May: Preliminary work
• Early June: Demolition work and installation of temporary aqueduct
• Late June/early July: Replacement of sewer and water mains
• September: Reconstruction of sidewalks, surface improvements and first layer of paving
• Fall 2024: End of work
• Summer 2025: Second layer of paving

Simard

• June: Demolition and replacement of sewer and water mains between De Gascogne and Du Poitou streets
• Mid-June: Start of pavement and sidewalk repairs between Du Poitou Street and Victoria Avenue
• August: Paving and striping work and opening of Simard Boulevard to traffic
• September: Landscaping work with traffic in operation

Closure of Simard Boulevard

From June 3, Simard Boulevard will be closed to traffic between Victoria Avenue and Riverside Street. The rondabout will remain open, except for the exit onto Simard Boulevard.

The detour will be via Victoria Avenue, Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Boulevard (Route 112) and Riverside Street. Local traffic will be allowed throughout the work, with access points and routes varying as work progresses.

Closure of Du Poitou and D'Alsace

From mid-June, Du Poitou Street and D'Alsace Avenue, between Gascogne Street and Préville school, will be closed to traffic. With a few exceptions, local traffic will be possible for residents in the work zone. As Simard Boulevard will also be closed, local residents will be asked to use De Normandie Avenue to access or exit the neighborhood.

As of June 3, the closure of Simard boulevard due to repair work is forcing the Réseau de Transport de Longueuil (RTL) to modify the route of its line 13. To minimize inconvenience to local residents, RTL has chosen to redirect the route relatively close to its regular route. The new line will take the following streets:

• Du Dauphiné Street (opposite Plamondon) between Simard Boulevard and du Béarn Avenue;
• Du Béarn Avenue;
• Du Languedoc Street between avenues du Béarn and de Normandie;
• De Normandie Avenue between du Languedoc Street and Riverside.

Both directions of this route will intersect on this new route. In order to ensure safe bus traffic, the following measures will be implemented:

• Removal of center-of-street beacons on the affected sections;
• Implementation of parking bans on the even-numbered sides of Dauphiné Street (affected section only) and Béarn Avenue.
