The Ministry recommends that drivers should prepare for a longer travel time if they’re coming to the area because congestion is to be expected.
The work could be postponed, extended, or cancelled due to weather conditions or operational constraints.
Detour routes will be marked with temporary signage.
Transport Ministry suggests consulting Québec 511 before you head out on the road.
