Highway 35 Completion: Segment 1 – Lots 1 & 2

Diverse Highway 35 Work

Our team was mandated by the Quebec Ministry of Transportation to complete the following work on Highway 35 in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu:

• Earthworks
• Drainage
• Building the roadway structure
• Installing three reinforced concrete box culverts
• Building two overpasses
• Asphalting
• Installing guardrails
• Installing lighting
• Landscaping

Our work covered a total distance of approximately 4 kms and the road work covered 3,950 linear metres. In addition, we excavated 271,663 m³ of overburden.

We used more than 2,000 m³ of concrete, 493,353 metric tonnes of structures, 191,001 m³ of embankment and 230,527 kg of concrete rebar.

Despite the size and complexity of the work, it was a complete success.

Poor Soil

We installed 498 piles under the overpasses and the footings of the culverts to permit work, despite the poor soil conditions.

Complex Transportation

Two 4 m x 3 m culverts and one 10 m x 4 m arched culvert were prefabricated in sections to facilitate their transportation.
