Roadwork on the way for De Maisonneuve

Major roadwork begins this week on De Maisonneuve Boulevard. As of May 7, the Ville de Montréal, in partnership with Concordia University and the Commission des services électriques de Montréal, will carry out a series of renovations along the strip running between Bishop and St-Mathieu.

In addition to installing a permanent bike path, and increasing the overall greenery in this part of Quartier Concordia, the roadwork includes extending, by nearly seven feet, the sidewalks in front of the J.W. McConnell Library and Henry F. Hall buildings, as well as completely repaving this section of De Maisonneuve.

Expected to last from May 7 to May 28, the initial work will involve the temporary relocation of the bike path (between Bishop and St-Mathieu). Sidewalks will remain open and the campus shuttle bus will not be affected during this period.

Following this first phase of the roadwork, sidewalks in the construction area will be closed periodically, one block and one side at a time. Appropriate signage will be installed and alternative routes to all Concordia buildings will be maintained. 

The shuttle bus stop will be relocated to the northwest corner of Mackay and Ste-Catherine, next to the Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex (EV), once construction starts on the Hall Building sidewalk.

These renovations are currently scheduled to carry on throughout summer. Additional information and updates will be provided on a regular basis over the coming months.
