Intersection Now Closed in Embrun

The Township of Russell is providing more information about the road closure at the intersection of Notre-Dame Street and Ste-Marie/St-Pierre Roads related to ongoing construction.

The included map shows the full intersection closure, that began April 15 and is expected to last until approximately May 8, 2026. This timeline may change if unforeseen construction issues or previously unknown underground infrastructure are discovered.

A full intersection closure is required to complete most, if not all, of the underground infrastructure work at this location. The contractor will make every effort to complete as much work as possible during this period so construction can then move to the roadway approaches.

On the map:

• Areas shown in red indicate a full intersection closure.
• Areas shown in orange indicate road closures where access is maintained for local traffic. We encourage the community to continue to support businesses in the affected area during this time.
• Pedestrian access through the intersection is planned to remain available on one side of each north south movement and on one side of the east west movement.

Please note that the contractor plans to have multiple crews working in different areas at the same time. The Township will share additional updates as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. For all details on the project, please visit www.russell.ca/NotreDameSt or for questions on the project contact the Infrastructure Department at infrastructure@russell.ca or at 613-443-1747.
