Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest: construction work is still projected for 2023

Last March, during the information session, we had announced upcoming work beginning in the winter of 2023 for the Sainte-Catherine Ouest and Peel projects. Due to very high bids, the call for tenders has been canceled.

Given the obsolete state of underground infrastructures, the city has decided to relaunch a call for tenders as of January, placing a high priority only on the work to be carried out on Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest and Rue Metcalfe, as shown on the attached plan. The new schedule projects work beginning during the summer of 2023, after the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix.

The call for tenders will pertain to the work projected for 2023-2025 on the following streets:

Rue Sainte-Catherine between Rue Mansfield and Rue Peel;
The intersections of: Sainte-Catherine/Peel, Sainte-Catherine/Metcalfe and Sainte-Catherine/Mansfield;
Rue Metcalfe between Rue du Square-Dorchester and Place Mont-Royal;
Rue Mansfield between Boulevard René-Lévesque and Rue Sherbrooke (a few months in 2025).

The Peel project, between Boulevard René-Lévesque and Rue Sherbrooke will be covered by a separate call for tenders and will be carried out starting in 2026. Further information will be provided.

After the contract is awarded in the spring of 2023, details regarding the projected work will be presented during an information session.
