In the long term, it will connect the new metro station to the train station. As this work requires the trains to stop completely, it will be carried out continuously, day and night.<\/p>\n<p>The chosen technique, the Autofon\u00e7age\u00a9 sliding technique, is a Canadian first! To perform this delicate manoeuvre, we will have to cut tracks #2 and #3 and excavate part of the ground underneath. The reinforced and waterproofed concrete tunnel, manufactured directly on site, just next to its final location, will then be pushed by computer-assisted hydraulic cylinders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The tunnel in figures<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>12 meters long<\/li>\n<li>8 meters wide<\/li>\n<li>600 metric tons<\/li>\n<li>The tunnel is moving at 1.5 metres per hour<\/li>\n<li>70 metres of rail must be cut on each track to provide the necessary space for the operation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Impacts on travel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since the trucks will transit through the bus loop surrounding the Vend\u00f4me station, some bus lines will have to be temporarily relocated to the station perimeter. These are the stops of the following lines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>37 &#8211; Jolicoeur<\/li>\n<li>90 &#8211; Saint-Jacques (east direction)<\/li>\n<li>102 &#8211; Somerled<\/li>\n<li>104 &#8211; Cavendish<\/li>\n<li>124 &#8211; Victoria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, since the rail lines will be cut off, the exo commuter train service will be interrupted. For details about train service, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/exo.quebec\/fr\/service-clientele\/avis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>exo<\/strong><\/a> website. Moreover, this manoeuvre will not create any hinderance to car traffic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impacts of the construction site<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Essentially, the inconveniences will be the comings and goings of the trucks needed to transport the excavated soil and backfill. Exceptionally, they will transit through the bus loop surrounding the Vend\u00f4me station in order to leave the excavation site. This work will not be particularly noisy and will comply with the noise ordinance issued by the Borough of CDN-NDG.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And what happens next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The second portion of the tunnel, which will provide underground access to the MUHC through track #1, will be built in early summer. This second tunnel segment will consist of four prefabricated rings that will be placed side by side using a traditional excavation method.<\/p>\n<p>For more information: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stm.info\/fr\/infos\/etat-du-service\/travaux\/vendome-0\">stm.info\/vendome<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is during the long weekend of April 19 that a key milestone will take place in the construction of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":43292,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6299],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>STM: Tunnel Jacking Work at Vend\u00f4me Station - weekend of April 19, 2019 - City of Westmount<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"STM: Tunnel Jacking Work at Vend\u00f4me Station - weekend of April 19, 2019 - City of Westmount\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"It is during the long weekend of April 19 that a key milestone will take place in the construction of\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www2.westmount.org\/en\/stm-tunnel-jacking-work-at-vendome-station-weekend-of-april-19-2019\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"City of Westmount\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/villedewestmount\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-04-18T16:39:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-04-19T15:19:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www2.westmount.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-04-jpg-009.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1140\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"760\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"sebastian\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@VilleWestmount\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@VilleWestmount\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sebastian\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www2.westmount.org\/en\/stm-tunnel-jacking-work-at-vendome-station-weekend-of-april-19-2019\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www2.westmount.org\/en\/stm-tunnel-jacking-work-at-vendome-station-weekend-of-april-19-2019\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"sebastian\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www2.westmount.org\/#\/schema\/person\/7da69433d5d0e0a109bf8c3090bba6f3\"},\"headline\":\"STM: Tunnel Jacking Work at Vend\u00f4me Station &#8211;
