“And [le projet] is $ 9 billion in the’is and in the center, it will be necessary that’We are told why we chose the center, ”said the mayor of Lévis on Monday, in a press point.
Request for details
Gilles Lehouillier attend d’Have the details of the current third link project during a meeting that should take place with the Minister of Transport du Québec, Geneviève Guilbault, in September. This would also bring together the elected officials of the table of prefects of the Chaudière-Appalaches region.
“The minister will have to make consultations, she will have to work with people. Because the problem, c’is that’Il n’There is no one who knows anything about the center project, ”commented the mayor. “After that, I can comment a little more, but right now, I’has nothing to comment. “
Prix
M. Lehouillier n’So did not want to take a position on the price ranges unveiled in a document prepared by the ministry and signed by the hand of Mme Guilbault.
We learned that the corridor bill chosen by the CAQ would be between 5.3 and 9.3 billion $, while the two corridors in the East would cost between $ 7.5 billion and $ 9.5 billion, depending on the preliminary assessment. These costs exclude several elements such as design studies, environmental studies, land acquisition and expropriation costs as well as internal costs of the ministry.
Gilles Lehouillier says that’Il n’has no choice to give the runner a chance.
Point-tunnel
On June 12, Minister Guilbault presented the corridor chosen by her government to set up a future third link. The CAQ opted for a tunnel bridge. This would arise in the islands road sector in Lévis. He would possibly pass “as a trench” on the lands of the Chapais farm, then near the installations of the Valero refinery and would cross the river through a 2.8 km -on -frying bridge.
Then he would overlook the Samuel-de Champlain promenade, and dive into the cliff, in the Bois-de-Coulonge Park sector.
Two scenarios are in the boxes for the tunnel section, which would join the’Félix-Leclerc motorway. He could go to Boulevard Pierre-Bertrand, passing through a residential area, or would go to connect to the’Robert-Bourassa motorway, in the sector’Interchange with L’Charest motorway.
Mme Guilbault said in June that the central corridor is “the most optimal”, and that’It will cost less. Or, L’preliminary analysis dated’A week later estimates the costs of a similar fork, for all corridors, D’east to west.
The mayor of Lévis, and several regional actors, plead for a corridor at the’is, to “complete the device”.
