The area won’t completely re-open until May of 2017 as the city is also replacing underground infrastructure.
It’s all part of the Urban Promenade project “Fleuve Montagne,” which aims to improve the comfort and security of pedestrians on the path that connects the Saint-Lawrence river and Mont Royal.
The following sections will be affected:
– Sherbrooke Ouest, between Peel and Robert-Bourassa (complete closure) ;
– Docteur-Penfield ave, between Peel and McTavish (complete closure);
– Rue McTavish (pedestrian), between Sherbrooke and Docteur-Penfield (complete closure).
