Thus, the Honoré-Mercier Bridge will be closed to traffic in the direction of the South Shore, until Monday at 5 a.m. However, one lane will remain open towards Montreal.

By default, traffic entering Rue Airlie to join R-138 West is diverted via Avenue Lafleur and Rue Clément. Boulevard Lasalle will also be closed between avenues Lafleur and Trésor-Caché.

Also, motorists will have to plan for the complete closure of the Pie-IX bridge in both directions between Montreal and Laval all weekend. This means that the entrance to Boulevard de la Concorde Est to join R‑125 Sud and the East and West entrances to Boulevard Henri-Bourassa for R‑125 Nord will be inaccessible.

Those taking Hickmore Street above A-13 between 23e Avenue and Fisher Street, will also have to plan another route: the street will be closed in both directions until Monday morning.

On the Laval side, the A-440 West service road will be inaccessible to traffic between Industrial Boulevard and A-15 throughout the weekend.

Finally, on the South Shore, the A-20 West service road will be closed at the exit for the A-30 East, in Boucherville.

These sectors should be avoided as much as possible, warns Mobility Montreal.
