Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and Île-aux-Tourtes bridge closures planned

Montreal drivers can expect more road closures this week, specifically for the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge.

There are also roads closed after damage and flooding from the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby last week.

Lacordaire Blvd. is closed between Industriel and des Grand Prairies.

Meanwhile, Highway 13 remains closed, between the 40 and the 520 at the Dorval tunnel. Transport Quebec has said it hopes to have it reopened by Wednesday, but that still remains to be seen.

Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel closed as of tonight

The Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel will be closed in both directions starting at 10 p.m. Tuesday until 5 a.m. Wednesday due to work on the Souligny interchange.

As of 10 p.m. Tuesday, heading towards the South Shore, Highway 25 will be closed between exit 4 and the entrance from Charron Island.

Starting at 11:59 p.m. Friday, the bridge connecting Senneville and Vaudreuil-Dorion will be closed in both directions until 5 a.m. Monday.

Quebec’s Transport Ministry said this closure is needed to install a membrane and asphalt the bridge.
