Motorists traveling in Montreal this week should expect closures at the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel and the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge.
First, the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel will be inaccessible in both directions during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday due to work on the Souligny interchange.
Starting at 10 p.m. Tuesday, Highway 25 will be closed between Exit 4 and the entrance from Île Charron toward the South Shore. Toward Montreal, the closure will apply between Exit 90 and the entrance from Notre-Dame Street East. All lanes are expected to reopen at 5 a.m. Wednesday.
In addition to the work on the Souligny interchange, the teams working on this major project will also be carrying out maintenance work on the tunnel and the highway. Subsequently, there will be no obstructions at the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel over the weekend, but it will be the turn of the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge to be completely closed.
Starting at 11:59 p.m. Friday, the bridge connecting Senneville and Vaudreuil-Dorion will be closed in both directions until 5 a.m. Monday morning.
The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility explains that this closure will take place to carry out the installation of a membrane and asphalting operations on the bridge.
Westbound, the closure will apply between exit 41 and the entrance from Saint-Charles Avenue. Eastbound, it will take place between exit 35 and the entrance from Anciens-Combattants Boulevard.
During this closure, tolls will be suspended in both directions on Highway 30, in addition to other mitigation measures already in place.
After the closure on Monday morning, the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge will return to a three-lane configuration, including two towards Montreal for the morning rush hour.
