Justice Morningstar and her three-year-old daughter said the traffic wasn't going to slow them down on a special day. "It’s a real big traffic impact; I’m not going to sugar coat it. It’s going to be hairy out there but it is rapid," Tierney said. The westbound detour from St. Laurent to Carling took around 43 minutes. Traffic was at a standstill around the Max Keeping Bridge just before the Vanier Parkway. This is usually an approximately 10-minute trip.Motorists travelling westbound on Hwy. 417 will exit the highway at the Metcalfe/Catherine exit.
