Past and Upcoming Major Projects

The city is continuing its efforts to offer the public a high-quality road network, lasting infrastructures and a pleasant living environment. In addition to periodic work, a number of major projects take place each year across the territory. Here is a list of upcoming major projects and a summary of those that have just been completed.

Upcoming major projects

A variety of projects are currently under study. As soon as the details are known, they will be unveiled here.

• Repair of Heritage Elements on Île Saint-Bernard April 6 to mid-July, 2021

  Work

  Au terme de ce projet, le moulin, l’escalier, la grotte, la croix et le cimetière seront remis en état afin d’en assurer la pérennité et d’améliorer l’expérience des visiteurs. Ces cinq vestiges seront également illuminés et constitueront un parcours historique à découvrir. Grâce à la participation d’archivistes des Sœurs Grises de Montréal et à la Société du Musée du Grand Châteauguay (SMGC), cinq panneaux d’interprétation mettront en valeur les attraits et
  relateront leur histoire.

  Awarded to Construction Valrive, the contract to repair the heritage elements should be completed by mid-July. The operations will begin with masonry work in the grotto and with the complete reconstruction of the grand staircase, which will be brought back to current standards while retaining its original cachet. The cemetery will then be embellished with landscaping, including paths and more vegetation. The cross’s base will be solidified, and the mill will be the last element to undergo a beautiful rejuvenation, particularly with the repair of its masonry.

  This $1.5 million project is being carried out in part thanks to the Fonds d’appui au rayonnement des régions from the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l’Habitation, as well as the financial participation of the Grey Nuns of Montréal. Ville de Châteauguay, for its part, assumes nearly half of the costs. Héritage Saint-Bernard, acting as site manager, is collaborating on the project, as is the Société du Musée de Grand Châteauguay.

  Impact on the public

  Ville de Châteauguay will try to minimize the impact of the work on visitors to Île Saint-Bernard. Access to the site will still be possible. The work will take place during the week, between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. The asphalt path and green spaces will be accessible, but the site’s tranquillity will be disturbed during the work. A portion of the grassy area behind the mound will be reserved for workers and their equipment, and access will be restricted. Also, the areas under construction will be barricaded.The public will be requested to keep a distance to ensure everyone’s safety. Information panels will indicate the duration of the work and the safety instructions to be observed.

Schedule
