The closure is necessary in order to carry out work that’s part of the Pie-IX Bridge construction site.

It will be in effect from Tuesday, Nov. 1, at 12:01 a.m., and will end on Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 5 a.m.

Road users will be asked to continue on Highway 440, westbound, and take the detour via exit 30 (Road 125 south/Pie-IX Boulevard/Montreal), Route 125 (Pie -IX Boulevard), and Highway 440, eastbound, to be able to exit at Montée Saint-François.

Let’s note that the work could be cancelled, or postponed without notice due to operational or weather constraints. (N.P.)

As of this evening, a traffic ban for heavy vehicles will be introduced. That excludes buses and emergency vehicles, which may continue to use the bridge.

Heavy vehicles will be directed to the Médéric-Martin Bridge, on Highway 15.

For now, the closure of the left lane, in both directions, is maintained on Papineau-Leblanc Bridge. It will be indicated by markings on the ground, rather than by cones, to facilitate winter maintenance.

The speed limit remains 70 km/h on the entire bridge. The Ministry reminds users of the importance of respecting the signs in effect. Surveillance will also be provided by the SAAQ road controllers.

The government body also recalls that “the condition of the bridge doesn’t compromise the safety of users”, and that “these measures are preventive, but necessary to ensure the integrity of the road infrastructure”. (N.P.)

That work will take place between Louis-Bisson and Vachon bridges, both located in Laval. The goal of the project is to improve safety and ride comfort on that road axis.
This work step will continue until the winter, and will resume in the spring in order to carry out and complete the project.

Closures

The work will result in partial and complete night closures, as well as partial weekends on various sections of Highway 13. Access ramps will also be affected by those closures.

Between Louis-Bisson and Vachon bridges, drivers should expect night closures that will affect two or three northbound lanes. During weekends, partial daytime closures are expected, which will affect one to two lanes.

Still northbound, the Ministry’s planning complete night closures on Highway 13, between exit 12 (Samson/Notre-Dame Boulevard/Saint-Martin Boulevard) and Sainte-Rose Boulevard. That means the exit 12 ramp will also be closed.

For now, only one complete night closure is planned southbound, which is at Dagenais Boulevard’s level.

Let’s note that the work could be cancelled, or postponed without notice due to operational or weather constraints. (N.P.)

The goal of the work is to ensure “the functionality of that road infrastructure, and the ride comfort of its users, until the completion of the major bridge reconstruction project”, explains the press release.

They’ll result in the complete closure of one direction on the bridge, from Friday, August 26 at 11 p.m. to Monday, August 29 at 4:30 a.m.

Traffic will thus be in the opposite direction, on the opposite carriageway, and the permitted speed limit will be reduced to 50 km/h in the construction zone.

There will be a lane open to northbound traffic, while two lanes will be open to southbound traffic.

Let’s remind those interventions began last July, and should be completed before the winter. This project is also included in the list of road investments for 2022– 24 in the Laval region. (N.P.)
