Rehabilitation of the Lachine Canal Weir 1

Parks Canada is planning a rehabilitation project for the Lachine Canal Weir 1. The plans include removing the guillotine valves, removing the footbridge, modifying the overflow dam, demolishing shotcrete, cleaning and repainting certain components, adding guardrails, repointing the masonry and making repairs to the upper part of the downstream walls by adding thickness. Some electrical work is also required, such as removing the existing lighting system.

The plans include a permanent riprap fill to stabilize the walls downstream of the weir. A fish habitat enhancement component will be incorporated into the project by adding cobbles downstream of the weir, in addition to removing remnants of the forebay from the bottom, such as old lock gates in an advanced state of disrepair. The possibility of installing a safety and debris boom upstream as part of the project is also being evaluated.
