It connects Laurier Boulevard, the commercial heart of the Sainte-Foy\u2013Sillery\u2013Cap-Rouge borough, via a 0,186 miles road tunnel. This tunnel is used by more than 90,000 vehicles every day.<\/p><p>The Quebec Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTMD) decided to modernize the tunnel to ensure <strong>the longevity of the structure, the safety of users, and the upgrading of the lighting system to current standards<\/strong>. The project involved replacing 944 LED luminaires and installing a lighting control system to adjust the lighting according to actual outdoor conditions, thereby avoiding the effects of \u201cblack holes\u201d and glare at the tunnel entrance, in addition to achieving energy savings. <strong>The TLACS-U<\/strong> lighting control system from <strong>Nyx Hemera Technologies<\/strong> was selected for its ease of installation and maintenance, made possible by the company&#8217;s expertise in power line communication.<\/p><p>It is important to mention that the MTMD had identified a problem: birds were nesting on the light fixtures and damaging them. Nyx Hemera Technologies therefore designed a custom steel bracket equipped with bird protection to protect the equipment.<\/p><p>Finally, the Nyx team also conducted a <strong>photometric survey<\/strong> in the tunnel after commissioning to ensure that lighting levels met the Department&#8217;s requirements and to verify that the tunnel lighting complied with the RP-8-18 recommendations established by the <strong>Illuminating Engineering Society (IES).<\/strong><\/p><p>The <strong>TLACS-U solution<\/strong> facilitates the control and dimming of luminaires. Full control and monitoring can be carried out from a remote control station or locally using a touch screen installed in an on-site cabinet.<\/p><p><strong>Characteristics: <\/strong><\/p><ul><li>R\u00e9trofit<\/li><li>Luminaires LED 944<\/li><li>Lenght 0,18 mi<\/li><li>Custom-made steel support equipped with bird protection<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Solution\u00a0:<\/strong> TLACS-U<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-93bd88b\" data-id=\"93bd88b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4545de0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4545de0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nyx-hemera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Image-29-768x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-18936\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nyx-hemera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Image-29-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nyx-hemera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Image-29-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nyx-hemera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Image-29.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4729fda elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4729fda\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-522f0af\" data-id=\"522f0af\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8cca1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-raven-social-share\" data-id=\"e8cca1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"raven-social-share.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-social-share-wrapper jupiterx-social-share-wrapper-col-0 jupiterx-social-share-view-icon-text\" id=\"jupiterx-social-share-widget-wrapper\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-social-share-skin-gradient\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"hidden\" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-social-share-button jupiterx-social-share-widget-facebook\" data-network=\"facebook\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"jupiterx-social-share-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"jupiterx-social-share-button-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFacebook\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-social-share-skin-gradient\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"hidden\" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jupiterx-social-share-button jupiterx-social-share-widget-linkedin\" data-network=\"linkedin\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"jupiterx-social-share-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"jupiterx-social-share-button-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLinkedin\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"jupiterx-social-share-target\" value=\"https:\/\/www.nyx-hemera.com\/en\/2025\/10\/28\/robert-bourassa-tunnel-quebec-city\/\" >\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"jupiterx-social-share-title\" value=\"ROBERT-BOURASSA TUNNEL, QUEBEC CITY\" >\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"jupiterx-social-share-image\" value=\"https:\/\/www.nyx-hemera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Image-29.jpg\" >\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Highway 740 (A-740), also known as the Robert-Bourassa Highway, is an urban highway serving Quebec City.
