Roads to avoid this weekend amid F1 in Montreal

Montreal is gearing up for a fun-filled Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend, but it may be a headache on the roads for drivers.

Motorists are advised to avoid the Bonaventure Expressway – and traffic congestion is also expected on the Jacques-Cartier and Samuel-De Champlain bridges as people head to Île Notre-Dame to get to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for preliminaries and the main race.

Apart from authorized vehicles, there is no access to the Grand Prix from the Bonaventure sector, as Pierre-Dupuy Street will be closed to unauthorized vehicles.

Drivers coming from Montreal’s South Shore should be aware that Route 132 may also experience delays.

Public transit is strongly advised to access the Grand Prix site – the yellow line from Berri-UQAM or Longueuil station.
