TramCité announced the selection of Kiewit, supported by CIMA+, to carry out underground utility relocation work on René-Lévesque Boulevard and 1st Avenue in Québec City.
The underground utility relocation work will prepare two strategic downtown corridors for the future tramway. Particular attention will be paid to managing impacts and implementing mitigation measures for residents, businesses, and users of the area.
“The selection of the contractor for underground utility relocation marks a concrete and necessary step forward for TramCité. It allows us to move from planning to on-the-ground interventions, while maintaining close coordination with our partners and the communities involved,” said Jean-Philippe Pelletier, vice president, TramCité Project.
TramCité is a major infrastructure project to create a 19-km urban tramway network in Quebec City. It is being carried out jointly by the Government of Quebec, the City of Quebec, and CDPQ Infra, with financial support from the Government of Canada.
“We are pleased to have been selected to carry out the initial works of this major project alongside our design partner, CIMA+. Kiewit is proud of its long history of delivering essential transportation infrastructure across Québec. We look forward to mobilizing our construction and engineering expertise, as well as our highly skilled local workforce, to safely deliver this important project for the benefit of Québec City residents,” added Patrick Lamarre, president, Kiewit Construction Co.
