The completion of Autoroute 30

August 13 2008

$100 M in work to be awarded imminently!

Administration for Ouest-de-la-Montérégie recently launched two major calls for tenders which will make it possible to begin work on the entire roadway this fall between the existing A-30, in Saint-Constant, and A-15, in Candiac.

The bids were opened for the two mandates and the work will be awarded in the coming weeks.

From the 30/30 interchange to chemin Agritex

The first mandate is estimated at $43 M, and involves the construction of the roadway and bridges for Autoroute 30 between the 30/30 interchange and chemin Agritex (about halfway through the southern route) over a distance of approximately 5.5 km.

The contract will be awarded shortly and work will begin in September. The project will continue until 2010.

From chemin Agritex to the 15/30 interchange

The second contract will also commence in September. It involves the construction of concrete cement slabs for the 15/30 interchange and the construction of the roadway between chemin Agritex and the 15/30 interchange in Candiac.

Structures will be built to span rivière à la Tortue, montée de la Saline, the Canadian Pacific railway, and chemin de la Petite-Côte. Provisions must also be made for chemin Saint-François-Xavier to cross over A-30.

The work is estimated at $60 M and will also be completed in 2010.
