Article content

No major highway or bridge closures are planned for this weekend, but some highway ramps will be closed, and there are some transit disruptions. Here are trouble spots to watch out for this weekend:

Highway 40

The ramp from Highway 520 toward Highway 40 East will be closed from 11 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, and one lane of Highway 40 will also be closed around this entrance all weekend. Traffic will be detoured to the Ste-Croix entrance, while trucks will have to go west and get on the highway via Cavendish Blvd., Griffith St. and Locke St.

Highway 13/520

The ramp from Highway 13 North to Highway 520 East will be closed from 10 p.m. Sunday until Oct. 26. Traffic will need to make a U-turn using the other ramps of the interchange to get to the ramp from Highway 13 South, or detour via Highway 40. Lanes will also be closed on the service road for Highway 520 East.

Highway 30

Repaving work will require closing one of two lanes of the highway in two sections Saturday and Sunday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.: westbound in Les Cèdres after Route 338, and eastbound over the Châteauguay River. The entrance eastbound from Haute-Rivière Rd. in Mercier will be closed Sunday only.

Métro

The discovery of a structural issue has forced the closure of the St-Michel, d’Iberville and Fabre stations on the Blue Line until further notice. A bus, Line 809, will shuttle users between those stations and Jean-Talon station during the métro’s opening hours.

REM

A systems update means the Réseau express métropolitain will start at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. Shuttle buses will provide service between Brossard and Gare Centrale stations from 5:30 to 7 a.m.

Upcoming

Work on Highway 520 at Hickmore St. will shift to the service roads next week. The westbound service road will be closed between Ness and Griffith Sts. as of Oct. 8 for about two weeks, and the eastbound one between Merizzi and Hickmore Sts. as of Oct. 15 for about two weeks. The ramp from Hickmore to Highway 520 east will be closed from Oct. 23 for about a week. Hickmore St. itself remains closed under the highway, and a free shuttle is available 24/7 to carry pedestrians and cyclists across the highway.

Continuing disruptions

• Highway 10: The ramp from the Bonaventure Expressway toward the Champlain Bridge is closed until “mid-October.” Traffic is detoured via Gaétan-Laberge Blvd. Access to Nuns’ Island is maintained during this work. The access to Highway 10 West from Nuns’ Island is closed until the end of November.
• Highway 15: In Candiac, the ramps from Highway 15 North to Highway 930 West and from Highways 15 South to 930 East are closed until November, and lanes are narrowed on both highways through the interchange.
