CSL approves inspection of underpasses
Côte St. Luc awarded a contract for the inspection and, if needed, eventual repair of the city's three underpasses, to make sure they are safe.
The underpasses are on Cavendish Blvd, Westminster Avenue and Côte St. Luc Road.
Councillor Steven Erdelyi, in charge of the public works portfolio, said the process will take several steps.
“The first step is going to be to inspect the three underpasses, as per the Quebec Ministry of Transport's specifications,” he explained. “The second part is to prepare all the drawings and the specifications, and then preparing a tender for a contractor who will perform the actual repair work - in the meantime, right now, it's for Cavendish only. The work should be done next year. Obviously, we have to wait to see how the report comes in.
“From previous reports, the evaluations were good, but obviously we always want to err on the side of caution. We hope the underpasses are in good condition.”
Councillor Dida Berku said the contract for the work is significant.
“As you know, there's been a lot of issues with infrastructure on the island of Montreal, and so we just want to be sure and give the public the assurance that we're inspecting all our underpasses and roads, and everything is conforming,” she added.n
