Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and Île-aux-Tourtes bridge closures planned

Montreal drivers can expect more road closures this week, specifically for the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge.

Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel closed as of tonight

The Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel will be closed in both directions starting at 10 p.m. Tuesday until 5 a.m. Wednesday due to work on the Souligny interchange.

As of 10 p.m. Tuesday, heading towards the South Shore, Highway 25 will be closed between exit 4 and the entrance from Charron Island.

Towards Montreal, the roads will be closed between exit 90 and the entrance from Notre-Dame Street East.

The entrances towards the area will close 30 minutes before the completely closure.

All lanes are expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Wednesday.

Île-aux-Tourtes bridge weekend closure

In addition, the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge will be completely closed this weekend.

Starting at 11:59 p.m. Friday, the bridge connecting Senneville and Vaudreuil-Dorion will be closed in both directions until 5 a.m. Monday.

Quebec’s Transport Ministry said this closure is needed to install a membrane and asphalt the bridge.

Heading westbound, the roads will be closed between exit 41 and the entrance from Saint-Charles Ave.

Driving eastbound, it will be closed between exit 35 and the entrance from Anciens-Combattants Blvd.

The tolls will be suspended in both directions on Highway 30, in addition to other mitigation measures already in place throughout the weekend.
