Weekend traffic Aug. 16-19, 2024: Highway 13 will be the only one closed

Article content

The good news is the Île-aux-Tourtes Bridge won’t be closed this weekend. The bad news is that it’s because there’s another, more pressing piece of highway that needs to be fixed first: Highway 13 in Dorval. Here are the trouble spots to avoid this weekend.

Highway 13

The Dorval Tunnel, which suffered damage from last week’s heavy rainfall, will be closed between Highways 40 and 520 from 11:59 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Sunday — or, in case of bad weather, from 11:59 p.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Monday — to continue repairs on a pumping station.

Route 112

One of two lanes will be closed in each direction on Laurier Blvd. over Route 132 near the Victoria Bridge, from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.

Côte-de-Liesse Rd.

The ramp from Côte-de-Liesse Rd. eastbound toward Décarie Blvd. southbound will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday for work by the builder of the Royalmount development project.

René-Lévesque Blvd.

Only one lane will be open in each direction between Atateken St. and de la Visitation St. from 7 a.m. Friday to 7 p.m. Sunday, for work by a private entrepreneur.

Lasso

Because of large crowds going to the country music festival on Île Ste-Hélène, bikes and dogs will not be allowed on the métro’s Yellow Line Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. until closing.

Ongoing disruptions

  • Highway 10: The Bonaventure Expressway is closed eastbound at the interchange with Highway 15/20 before the Champlain Bridge until Sept. 15. Traffic is detoured via Gaétan-Laberge Blvd. Access to Nuns’ Island is maintained during this work.
  • Highway 20: In Dorval, the ramp from Sources Blvd. south to Highway 20 East is closed until the end of August, as is the ramp that connects the northbound and southbound lanes on Sources. The pedestrian overpass is closed until the beginning of October.
  • Highway 40: The Île-aux-Tourtes Bridge is down to three lanes — one in each direction, and one lane that switches directions on weekdays. During weekends, the extra lane is for traffic to Vaudreuil-Dorion.
  • Highway 40: Work to replace the concrete slabs on the Metropolitan Expressway continues until fall. This will require complete closing of the highway overnights and service roads on nights and weekends, particularly around the Décarie Interchange.
  • Highway 50: In Mirabel, work to replace lighting systems and asphalt between Route 117 and Louis-Bisson St. requires complete closings overnights of the westbound highway until fall.
  • Route 136: The Guy St. exit eastbound is closed until Oct. 25.
  • Highway 440: In Laval, asphalt work is being done on the eastbound service road between Highway 13 and Industriel Blvd., overnight between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., affecting entrances and exits, until the winter.
  • Highway 520: The highway is closed in both directions at Hickmore St., with traffic detoured via the service roads, until Oct. 25.
