Sunday’s Tour de l’Île takes cyclists through Outremont, Snowdon, Lachine, LaSalle, Verdun, Sud-Ouest and Old Montreal, with optional longer routes on open roads to the West Island. Streets begin closing at 8:30 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. and reopen between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Though there are overpasses and underpasses that allow vehicles to cross the route (including all highways), some areas — including an area of the Plateau-Mont-Royal bordered by Rachel St., St-Urbain St., St-Denis St. and des Pins Ave., will be inaccessible to vehicles coming in or going out for about two hours Friday evening. Full traffic information is available at velo.qc.ca.
