Rebuilt of breakwater 302 at Étang-du-Nord harbour, Magdalen Islands

Due to the age of the structure, the nature of the stone used in its construction, and the increasing intensity and frequency of storms, breakwater #302 at the Étang-du-Nord fishing harbour needs to be rebuilt. The current state of the breakwater does not offer adequate protection, and overtopping can occur during strong winds. This can pose a risk to harbour users and cause damage to harbour infrastructure or ships moored at the quays. The breakwater will be rebuilt in the same location.

In addition, a temporary access road and a culvert will have to be built to enable work on the breakwater. Finally, a short bank section will be stabilized and protected with riprap.
