Traffic delays expected as Montreal sees more bridge, highway closures over weekend

Montrealers can expect more traffic delays over the upcoming weekend.

The Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable says various road and lane closures will be taking place, including the Honoré Mercier Bridge, Highway 25, and Highway 10.

Highway 25

Highway 25 will be fully closed around the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel Friday night.

Highway 25 toward Montreal between exit 90 and the entrance from Hochelaga Street will be completely closed between Friday 11 p.m. until Saturday 8 a.m.

During the same time period, Highway 25 toward the South Shore between exit 5 and the entrance from Charron Island will also be completely closed.

Transports Québec says the highway will be closed 30 minutes prior to the full closure.

This closure is to allow for work to be done to the tunnel’s electrical and communication systems.

Honoré Mercier Bridge

The Honoré Mercier Bridge will be reduced to one lane in each direction over the coming weekend.

The lane closures will start at Friday at 11 p.m. and will last until Monday at 5 a.m. for repair work to be conducted on steel elements of the bridge.

Highway 10

Highway 10 between Highways 15 and 20 and Route 132 will also see closures over the weekend.

Starting Friday at 11 p.m., the ramp leading from Highway 10 westbound to Highway 20 / Route 132 eastbound (towards Varennes) and Highway 15 southbound / Route 132 westbound (towards La Prairie) will be closed until Saturday at 6 a.m.

Additionally, starting Saturday at 6 a.m., and lasting until Monday, the ramp leading from Highway 10 westbound to Highway 20 / Route 132 eastbound (towards Varennes) will be fully closed.

This work is to allow for paving to be conducted between Brossard and Saint-Lambert.

Thursday, Transport Quebec said additional areas would see partial or full closures over the weekend.

From 7 p.m. on Saturday until 10 a.m. on Sunday, between Senneville (Island of Montreal) and Vaudreuil-Dorion, there will be a single lane closure on the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge, spanning Lac des Deux Montagnes.
