There are 44 major road projects being planned by Transport Quebec and the City of Montreal on the island.
Drivers will have to brace themselves because this summer could be almost tortuous on roads and highways in Montreal. Hundreds of construction sites are planned – and 44 of them are major, requiring periodic closures. Officials are warning drivers to expect major traffic congestion. As Global's Tim Sargeant reports, getting around won't be easy.
The first closures begin this weekend. The entire Ville-Marie tunnel will be closed to all traffic in both directions as of Friday at 11 p.m., lasting until Monday at 5 a.m., and Route 136 East toward downtown will be completely closed.Work on the Ile-aux-Tourtes Bridge continues and part of A40 in the West Island is being repaved.
