Due to technical problems that have occurred recently (hacking), we have had to restore the blog related to the rehabilitation of the Honoré-Mercier Bridge. As a result, over the last couple of days, we have lost certain comments as well as some recent posts.

Therefore, we will republish some of the most recent posts. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we archive received comments and have sent most of them to the ministère des Transports du Québec, since these comments and complaints concern the work that is scheduled to take place underneath the bridge this weekend, namely January 27 to 29.

Thank you.

Le ministre des Transports et député de Châteauguay, monsieur Pierre Moreau, annonce aujourd’hui la fin des travaux de renforcement des éléments d’acier sur le pont Honoré-Mercier, permettant ainsi la réouverture de la 4^e voie de circulation, située sur la structure amont pour l’heure de pointe de lundi matin.

À la mi-juin 2011, le Ministère procédait à la fermeture de la structure amont du pont, après avoir été informé de récents résultats d’analyses, soulignant la dégradation des éléments d’acier qui nécessitaient une réparation majeure. Suite aux travaux et tel que prévu, le Ministère avait rouvert une voie du pont Honoré-Mercier amont le 6 septembre dernier, en permettant également la circulation des véhicules lourds.

« L’ouverture de la quatrième voie sur le pont Honoré-Mercier est un soulagement pour de nombreux usagers du secteur. La fluidité de la circulation, plus précisément en heures de pointe, sera améliorée, ce qui représente d’autant plus une économie en termes de temps et d’argent » a tenu à souligner Monsieur Moreau.

Le ministre a également tenu à remercier le comité de coordination qui avait été formé, au début de l’été, par les différents acteurs politiques et socio-économiques de la région pour leur travail et leur soutien tout au long des travaux.

Rappelons également qu’en parallèle, des travaux de réfection majeurs ont cours sur le pont Honoré-Mercier, en collaboration avec la société les Ponts Jacques Cartier, Champlain, Incorporée (PJCCI) et le Conseil Mohawk de Kahnawake (CMK). Il s’agit du plus grand projet de réfection jamais entrepris au Canada.
