Access to downtown will be more complicated than usual this weekend, as the Ville-Marie Expressway (Route 136) will be completely closed eastbound for the entire weekend.
Route 136
The highway will be closed eastbound between the Turcot Interchange and the entrance from de la Cathédrale St., from 11:59 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, as a major drain is relocated and repairs are conducted on a slab. The recommended detour is via the Bonaventure Expressway (Highway 10). Another such closure will be required later this fall.

Route 132
The highway and Marie-Victorin Blvd. service road will be completely closed eastbound underneath the Samuel-De Champlain Bridge in Brossard, between 10 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday, for repair work on an overpass. Access to the bridge from Route 132 eastbound/Highway 15 northbound will be maintained, but access to Route 132/Highway 20 eastbound from the bridge will be closed.
The ramp from Route 132/Highway 20 westbound toward the bridge will be closed during this time, as this is the overpass being repaired. Detours will be marked. Traffic is recommended to take Highway 30 to get to and from the bridge, or use public transit.
Highway 40
Work on the Charles-De Gaulle Bridge connecting Montreal Island with Terrebonne begins Sunday night, and will continue over the next three months. Lanes will be closed overnights between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. weekdays, and 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. weekends, with traffic in one direction using a contraflow lane on the other side of the highway. Access to and from Montée des Pionniers westbound will be closed during these times.
