Much has changed over the past few months but one thing that hasn’t changed is the number of road closures throughout the city of Montreal.
With construction workers back at work, road work is in full swing throughout the city, and Quebecers are being advised to prepare for more road closures in Montreal this weekend. The Quebec Ministry of Transport has announced that major obstacles will be put in place in the area of the Turcot and Saint-Pierre interchanges during the weekend of September 11, including the complete closure of Route 136 (A-720)/Autoroute 20 westbound between the Ville-Marie tunnel and the Saint-Pierre interchange.
It seems everywhere you turn; construction is in full force. Below is the long list of closures that you might want to avoid if you are using a car to get around the city this weekend.
