In addition to ensuring the mobility of people and goods between the island of Montreal and the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region, it aims to promote active and public modes of transportation, enhance the infrastructure, ensure its integration into the landscape and preserve the integrity of the surrounding environment.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Towards New Mobility<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new bridge will offer three traffic lanes in each direction. A multi-use path will also be built to provide a safe space for active transport users. Wide shoulders will be built for the exclusive use of buses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>AGF&#8217;s Involvement in the Project and Milestones<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AGF is already working on several prefabricated elements.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In all, some 10,000 metric tons of reinforcing steel will be installed, including some 250,000 sleeves and 233 box piles, by the end of 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commissioning of the first structure is scheduled for late 2026, and the second structure for late 2027.
