3. New Champlain Bridge Corridor Project
Mandate
• Comité de suivi pour l’intégration du nouveau pont sur le Saint-Laurent et de ses accès (new bridge
integration committee or CINPA) in the pre-project phase: its goal was to keep residents informed
about the various aspects of the project and issue comments on urban integration surrounding the
bridge and its access routes
• Inspired by the CINPA, the Good Neighbourly Relations Committee (the “Committee”) was created to
encourage dialogue between SSL and the residents, business community and community
organizations
• The Committee’s main objective is to proactively share all information related to:
 completed, ongoing and future work
 anticipated impacts
 related mitigation measures
• The meetings will provide an opportunity to:
 answer questions
 identify solutions to the various problems raised
 discuss openly and transparently

• The construction of the western jetty went very well – over 13,000 truck trips in
two months
 Complaints were linked mainly to noise
 Limited impact on traffic: mitigation measures
• Pre-fabrication operations for the western jetty: no significant impact
• Demolition of May Street:
 Sensitivity to neighbourhood realities
 Major communications and coordination effort beforehand
 Noise and air quality monitoring: only a problematic situation
• Demolition of the superstructure of the old Nuns’ Island bridge: complaints
related to noise but the thresholds allowed under the agreement with
Infrastructure Canada were always respected
• Worksite facilities essentially finished: concern about security lighting on the
western jetty
Completed work: comments
