Ville-Marie Expressway, part of Turcot interchange closed this weekend for major repairs

Montrealers should expect slowdowns and detours this weekend due to “major repairs” of the Ville-Marie Expressway and Turcot interchange.

The Ville-Marie Expressway – route 136 – will be closed in both directions this weekend, as workers install a steel structure on the Saint-Laurent Boulevard overpass.

The Turcot interchange ramp leading from Autoroute 20 eastbound to Route 136 eastbound will also be closed.
