Montreal drivers can expect road closures and lane reductions, with work scheduled on Highways 25 and 30, as well as the Honoré-Mercier Bridge.

Honoré-Mercier Bridge closures

Transport Quebec says the Honoré-Mercier Bridge will be completely closed toward the South Shore between 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday and 5 a.m. on Thursday to allow for the replacement of an overhead signage structure.

The reserved lane entrance from Airlie Street will also close at 11:30 p.m., while other entrances will close at least 30 minutes earlier.

Partial closures will follow starting Friday, Oct. 17, at 11 p.m. through Monday, Oct. 20, at 5 a.m. One lane will be available in each direction on the bridge. The work is part of ongoing repairs to steel components.

Congestion is expected during these periods, and Transport Quebec recommends planning extra travel time.

In case of adverse weather or operational constraints, closures may be delayed, cancelled or extended. Drivers are advised to consult Québec 511 before travelling.

The ministry thanks road users for their cooperation and reminds them to follow signage and obey all posted instructions for the safety of both workers and the public.
