Progress to date
Project update:
Now that it has complied with the contract provisions and requirements for public spaces and submitted the required proof and guarantees regarding the durability of the paving stones, the contractor will be installing the new granite paving between November 2020 and April 2021. Because paving must be laid at a controlled temperature, the work will be carried out based on weather conditions under temporary structures.

Planned completion: summer 2021

Work on the sewers, water and gas mains, and dry utility networks has been completed on the entire work site.
