A detour will be available via Gaétan-Laberge Boulevard and Highway 15 South. To access Nuns’ Island, drivers will need to use exits 57-S or 57-N.
It should be noted that one of three lanes on the Bonaventure Expressway remains closed near the Peel Basin and the Victoria Bridge until December. On the Clément Bridge, contraflow traffic will continue, with one lane open in each direction. Finally, Exit 5 Eastbound will remain closed until the end of May.

Laviolette Bridge and Highway 55
On the Laviolette Bridge, between Trois-Rivières and Bécancour, two out of four lanes will be closed—one in each direction. The lane width will be reduced to 3.2 meters.
Drivers coming from Montreal or Quebec City are advised to plan their trips accordingly if they intend to cross the Saint Lawrence River using Highways 20 or 40.
Other Expected Disruptions
Mobilité Montréal also reminds the public that a new phase of commissioning will lead to a full closure of the REM network on all Saturdays and Sundays throughout April. For Friday, April 18, and Monday, April 21, the regular opening hours will remain unchanged.
As for the Victoria Bridge, there will be no special traffic configuration for morning and evening rush hours on Friday, April 18, and Monday, April 21. As a result, traffic will flow unrestricted in both directions from Thursday, April 17 at 7:15 p.m. until Tuesday, April 23 at 5:00 a.m. (N.P.)
