A major construction project on the Ville-Marie and Viger tunnels that’s expected to last three years is set to begin this weekend.
The work to secure the tunnels’ vaults will see workers dismantle certain steel support structures.
Work will begin Sunday and is scheduled to last until May 2027.
Drivers can expect partial or complete closures of segments of the tunnels – in either direction – during evenings or at night, Quebec’s Transport Ministry warns. Certain entrance ramps will also be closed accordingly.
“Traffic obstructions are expected,” the ministry wrote in a news release. “As far as possible, they will be combined with those of other sites in the sector, in order to reduce their frequencies.”
