What roads will be repaired or rebuilt in Sherbrooke soon or in a few years? This is one of those questions that the Ville de Sherbrooke can now quickly answer thanks to the addition of two interactive maps to its website. As a result, the population can find their way around the construction sites better.
One of these improved maps shows the work planned for the next five years.
This work includes road repairs, construction of new sidewalks and rebuilding of underground infrastructure.
It is possible to see the impact of the work in progress on traffic.
The second map allows roads to be classified according to work zones, but this time over a period of 0 to 20 years.
This is a request we’ve had from elected officials for several months, maybe even years. Roads in Sherbrooke Territory are inspected and their condition assessed. This mechanized inspection allows us to characterize the roads and classify them in relation to each other. They are divided into four groups from 1 to 4. The 4 have a longer horizon, the 1 a shorter one. We wanted to be transparent
explains Sherbrooke City Infrastructure Department Director Caroline Gravel.
The maps currently show 150 construction sites for the next five years.
