Partial closures to affect Papineau-Leblanc Bridge this weekend

Quebec’s Transport Ministry said Highway 19, including Papineau-Leblanc Bridge, which connects Montreal and Laval, will see closures during the day this weekend.

The disruptions are needed to carry out asphalting work on the left lane of the bridge in both directions, the Ministry said.

Highway 19 will be fully closed in the southbound direction between Highway 440 (Jean-Noël-Lavoie) and Henri-Bourassa Boulevard. However, Saint-Martin Boulevard will remain accessible.

Highway 19 will also be closed in the northbound direction between Henri-Bourassa and De la Concorde Boulevards.

Highway 19 will be closed in the northbound direction between Henri-Bourassa and De la Concorde Boulevards.

To travel between Montreal and Laval, road users can take the Médéric-Martin Bridge (A-15) or the Pie-IX Bridge (R-125). Detour routes will be marked with temporary signage.

The roadwork could be rescheduled or cancelled if the weather conditions do not allow it.

Drivers are asked to consult Québec 511 before heading out on those routes.
