Road Closures and Update – Notre-Dame Street Rehabilitation Project

Construction for the Notre-Dame Street Rehabilitation Project began in early March and is progressing as planned. Project partners have confirmed that work will continue along Ste-Marie Road, moving toward Notre-Dame Street.

Over the past several weeks, the construction schedule and the complexity of several work elements were carefully reviewed. Based on this review, a full closure of the intersection at Notre-Dame Street and Ste-Marie and St-Pierre Roads was identified as the safest and most efficient option to complete the next phase of work.

Upcoming Road Closures

• When: From Wednesday April 15, 2026, at 7 a.m. until Friday May 8, 2026, at 4 p.m.
• Where: Local traffic only for the following roads; no through access at the intersection.
  • Notre‑Dame Street: closed between Domaine Street and Dignard Street.
  • St‑Pierre Road: closed between Olympic Street and Notre-Dame Street
  • St‑Marie Road: closed between St-Moritz Trail and Notre-Dame Street.
• Access to businesses: All businesses in the area will remain open and accessible during construction. Residents are encouraged to continue supporting local businesses throughout this work.
• Why: This approach will allow the contractor to complete all required underground infrastructure upgrades within the intersection area more quickly and safely.

• Detours: Please follow the clearly marked detour signs in place and view www.municipal511.ca for full detour information.

Next Stages of Construction

Once work at the intersection is finished, construction will continue in both directions along Notre-Dame Street. Some localized road closures will remain in place to avoid overlapping trench work and to reduce traffic delays.
