Work to resume Monday on Montreal’s Sainte-Catherine Street West

Major work on Sainte-Catherine Street West, between Peel and Mansfield, will resume on March 31.

The City of Montreal said that this year, work will also extend to Mansfield Street.

“The first planned projects involve replacing the gas lines at the intersection of Sainte-Catherine Street West and Mansfield Street,” they said in a work notice. “As well as rehabilitating the water main on Mansfield Street, between Sainte-Catherine Street West and René-Lévesque Boulevard.”

Next, leveling and surfacing work on Mansfield Street will be carried out between Sherbrooke Street and René-Lévesque Boulevard, they explained.

Adding that the contractor will also resume, when weather conditions are favorable, resurfacing the surface of Sainte-Catherine Street West.
