Aims . Filamentary infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are believed to represent the initial conditions for massive star and cluster formation. Methods . We investigated the IRDC G035.39-00.33 using SiO, H 13 CO + , CH 3 OH, and CS emission observed with ALMA at 3.5″ resolution (∼0.05 pc). The analysis of the SiO emission provides a record of shock activity within the cloud, offering insights into both the current level of star formation and the cloud’s formation mechanisms. Results . We identify several regions with broad SiO emission clearly associated with outflows, pinpointing the locations of ongoing star formation across the cloud. The ALMA images also reveal a series of spatially extended SiO emission spots with narrow line profiles aligned along an arc-like path that is also seen in CS and CH 3 OH emission. While the broad SiO emission is mainly associated with the main cloud filament, as seen in visual extinction, the narrow SiO arch is located at the edge of the cloud, far from the identified sites of star formation activity. The presence of these arc-like morphologies suggests that large-scale shocks may have compressed the gas in the surroundings of the G035.39-00.33 cloud, shaping its filamentary structure. By inspecting the large-scale radio continuum emission around G035.39-00.33, we find that this IRDC is part of a larger star-forming complex where the densest and coolest material appears at the interacting regions between a supernova remnant (SNR) and an expanding HII region. In particular, we hypothesise that this IRDC may be spatially coincident with the ionised expanding gas associated with the previously identified SNR G35.6-0.4. Conclusions . We suggest that collisions between giant molecular clouds and expanding gas flows from interacting SNRs and HII regions may be responsible for the observed arc-like structures. Such shock compressions could play an important role in the formation of IRDCs and in the potential triggering of star formation.
