Partial closure of eastbound traffic on Highway 40 this weekend

Quebec’s Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility says Highway 40 will be partially closed for eastbound traffic this weekend.

Highway 40 (Metropolitan) will be closed between the Côte-de-Liesse interchange and Highway 15 (des Laurentides) from July 10, Friday 11:30 p.m. to July 13, Monday 5 a.m.

This would include full closure between exit 65 (P.-É.-Trudeau / A-520 / R-117 / Aut. Côte-de-Liesse / Boul. Marcel-Laurin) and the entrance from Highway 15 (des Laurentides) southbound.

Traffic will be diverted onto the Côte-de-Liesse service road.

Drivers are being asked to take an alternative route: Highway 13 (Chomedey) northbound, Highway 440 (Jean-Noël-Lavoie) eastbound, and Highway 15 (des Laurentides) southbound.

There will also be other closures that will be in effect from July 10, Friday at 11 p.m. to July 13, Monday at 5 a.m.

The work may be rescheduled or cancelled due to weather conditions.

The ministry warns that high congestion is to be expected and advises motorists to consult Québec 511 before travelling.
