Weekend traffic July 19-22, 2024: Fireworks on Saturday this week

Also: Minor disruptions on Highways 10, 25, 30, 40 and 520.

Here are some trouble spots on major roads in Montreal this weekend.

Fireworks

The fireworks competition at La Ronde will require closing the Ville-Marie Tunnel eastbound as of the exit for Highway 10, the Jacques-Cartier Bridge completely and local streets around the foot of the bridge from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday. Both lanes on the Victoria Bridge will be open toward the South Shore during this time.

Highway 10

The Bonaventure Expressway is closed eastbound at the interchange with Highway 15/20 before the Champlain Bridge until September. Traffic is detoured via Gaétan-Laberge Blvd. Access to Nuns’ Island is maintained during this work.

Highway 40

In Kirkland, the eastbound exit for St-Charles Blvd. is closed from 11:30 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, along with the right lane of the highway in that area.

Highway 25

Though the La Fontaine Tunnel remains open, the highway north of the tunnel will have only one lane available overnights northbound between Notre-Dame St. and Place Curatteau. The entrance from Notre-Dame St. to Highway 25 north will be closed from 10:30 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, as will the exit for Sherbrooke St.

Highway 520

The highway will be closed eastbound between the exit for Highway 13 and the entrance from Hickmore St., from 6:30 p.m. Sunday to 5:30 a.m. Monday. Traffic will be detoured via the service road.

Highway 30

In Vaudreuil-Dorion, the highway will be completely closed westbound between Highway 20 and Cité-des-Jeunes Blvd. (Route 340), from 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday to 6 a.m. the next morning. Detour is via Route Harwood (Route 342).

In Beauharnois and Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, traffic will share one side of the highway with one lane in each direction for seven kilometres, including the Madeleine-Parent Bridge. Westbound entrances and exits will be closed as a result.

Ongoing disruptions

  • Highway 10: The Bonaventure Expressway has two lanes in each direction between the Peel Basin and Victoria Bridge until Aug. 15. Exit 3 (Carrie-Derick St.) eastbound is closed.
  • 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 the weekends, the extra lane is for traffic to Vaudreuil-Dorion.
  • Highway 40: In Baie-D’Urfé and Kirkland, reconstruction work on the eastbound highway between Morgan and St-Charles Blvds. will disrupt traffic with partial closures overnights.
  • Highway 40: Work to replace the concrete slabs on the Metropolitan Expressway continues until fall. This will require complete closures 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 closures overnights of the westbound highway until fall.
  • Route 136: The Guy St. exit eastbound is closed until the fall.
  • 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 the end of the year.

Montreal streets

  • Rose-de-Lima St. is closed south of St-Antoine St., and traffic coming off the highway is being detoured east on St-Antoine (reversing the normal flow of traffic) to Atwater Ave.
  • De Lorimier Ave. is closed northbound between René-Lévesque Blvd. and de Maisonneuve Blvd. until July 26.
  • Côte-de-Liesse Rd. is down to one lane over Dunkirk Rd. until Aug. 6 for work related to the construction of the Côte-de-Liesse REM station.
