The Province of Quebec selected AECOM, as part of a consortium, as the project/construction manager responsible for rebuilding the 40-year-old Turcot Interchange in Montreal. At a cost of CAD$3.67 billion, the project involved rebuilding the Turcot, De La Vérendrye, Angrignon, and Montreal West interchanges, as well as stretches of Autoroutes 15, 20, and 720.
The Turcot Interchange is a major traffic hub in the Montreal area, connecting Autoroutes 15, 20 and 720 and providing access to the Champlain Bridge. It is also a vital link between the Montreal Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau International Airport and downtown. At the crossroads of the two busiest autoroutes in Québec, the Turcot Interchange is the most important interchange in the Montreal area, facilitating the movement of goods and services and providing access to major recreation and employment centres.
As the project/construction manager, AECOM provided project oversight; validated design criteria and engineering concepts; prepared environmental, health and safety project standards; coordinated up to 50 professional services contracts; coordinated bid packages; participated in the acquisition process, an alternative delivery mode; managed construction; and assisted the owner in managing the alternative delivery mode agreement.
The project location includes high-density residential and commercial areas with heavy traffic of approximately 280,000 vehicles per day, which was maintained throughout construction. AECOM also coordinated the needs of numerous stakeholders, including multiple municipalities, public utility companies, transport agencies, railway companies, citizen associations, and other government agencies.
