On August 9, during the Debby storm, record rainfall caused the Johannsen stream to overflow at the base of the North side, washing away three culverts crossing Duncan Road. The road has been completely cut off as a result of this storm, making it impassable for guests trying to access the North side parking lot this fall. However, our teams were still able to use the existing temporary road with appropriate vehicles to access the base of the North side near the pumping station for some ongoing projects.

After analyzing various scenarios for the reconstruction of Duncan Road, we have commissioned the construction firm Tisseur Inc. to replace the old culverts with a new steel-wood bridge. The bridge will be operational and usable by the start of the 2024/25 ski season, which begins on Thursday, November 28, at Tremblant.

 

Completed works to date and next steps

The partial opening of Duncan Road is scheduled for November 18 or 19, with exclusive access for the needs of Station Mont Tremblant.
