Get ready for some road closures in Montreal this weekend! Transport Quebec has announced that there will be night closures on part of Highway 25, along with a full closure on part of eastbound Highway 40.
The night closure on Highway 25 is necessary for lighting work under the Sherbrooke Street overpass. This means that Highway 25 towards Montreal will be shut down between exit 5 — Route 138, Sherbrooke Street, Yves-Prévost Blvd. — and the Sherbrooke Street East entrance from 11 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 5, to 8 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6. Additionally, the stretch of Highway 25 heading towards the South Shore will be closed from 10 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 7, to 5 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 8, reopening briefly before closing again at 10 p.m. on Monday and reopening at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 9.
Meanwhile, part of eastbound Highway 40 will be completely closed over the weekend for paving work. The closure, starting at 11:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 5, and ending at 5 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 8, will affect Highway 40 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, with traffic being diverted onto the service road — Côte-de-Liesse Road. All ramps connecting to eastbound Highway 40 will also be closed.
If you’re planning to travel in the area, it’s best to steer clear and explore alternative routes like Highways 13, 20, 30, or 440.
