DEVELOPMENT OF TUNNEL OPERATIONS AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE IN QUEBEC

In the Montreal area, 30000 ft of expressway lanes run through tunnels, two of which are remarkable by their size and design. These tunnels are the Louis-Hippolyte-Lafontaine Tunnel, which runs under the St. Lawrence River, and the Ville-Marie Tunnel, which is situated in the very heart of the City of Montreal. Both of these tunnels are located on Autoroute 20, which forms part of the Trans-Canada Highway. The implementation of these tunnels in Quebec and their development in operations and preventive maintenance (i.e., operations, electromechanical installations, communications, closed-circuit monitoring, and all other work related to operating tunnels) are discussed.
