PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
 |
Road design was completed using the Inroads software application, according to guidelines received from the MTQ project leader.
|
|
This stretch of highway encroaches on a waterway (Rivière Noire), which needed to be moved subsequent to a specific hydraulics study. |
|
This stretch of highway was controlled for accidental hydrocarbon spills, to avoid contamination of Rivière Noire, a tributary of the potable water supply source for Québec City. |
|
A drainage system for controlling and containing water from roadway surface runoff was developed according to the established regulations.
|
|
The highly rugged ground required specific attention during all project phases, and specifically while assessing the earthwork of longitudinal and cross-sectional roadway profiles.
