The closures will be put in place to prepare the construction site for the extension of Highway 19, for the winter period.

The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility had already announced a wave of closures, which was initially expected to affect the site from Nov. 20 to Dec. 2.

Those closures affected the section located between Laurentides Boulevard and Saint-Saëns Street (east), taking place in both directions, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next day.

En raison des nouvelles fermetures prévues, des détours seront notamment mis en place pour le camionnage. Ils seront balisés en fonction des itinéraires pour chacune des fermetures.

Due to the new planned closures, detours will be put in place, especially for trucking. The detours will be marked, according to the routes for each of the closures.

Let’s note that the work could be cancelled or postponed without notice, due to operational or weather constraints, requiring the collaboration of road users. (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.)

The Ministry of Transport plans to close the right lane of Highway 640, westbound, when approaching exit ramp 16 (Highway 13 southbound/Laval/Montréal).

The ramp from Highway 640, westbound, to Highway 13, southbound, will be completely closed. A detour will be possible via the 25th Avenue exit.

The work rush will run from Friday, Oct. 21, at 9 p.m., to Monday, Oct. 24, at 5 a.m.

The closure will take place between Dagenais (east) and Laurentides boulevards, from Friday, Oct. 14, at 10 p.m., until Monday, Oct. 17, at 4 a.m. Des Perron Avenue will also be closed during that time. It won’t be accessible from Thursday, Oct. 13 at 9 p.m.

The work is required in order to proceed with the commissioning of a new temporary intersection, located at the corner of Route 335 and des Perron Avenue. That will be used until the opening of the new Saint-Saëns Street (east) interchange, scheduled for next summer.

The temporary configuration will force the prohibition of circulation for pedestrians and cyclists. However, once opened, the new interchange will include a multipurpose track for them.

Detour

The Ministry recommends that road users travelling southbound take Laurentides Boulevard, westbound, to Highway 440, eastbound, and then return to Route 335 to avoid the section that will be closed this weekend.

Going north, drivers can instead take Dagenais Boulevard (east), westbound, and then take Laurentides Boulevard, northbound, to Route 335.

Heavy vehicles travelling north will instead be intercepted at the intersection of Route 335 and des Grands-Maîtres/Dagenais Boulevard (east). They’ll therefore have to take Grands-Maîtres and Robert-Bourassa boulevards, followed by Highway 440’s service road, westbound. That will allow them to find Laurentides Boulevard in a northerly direction, in order to then finally get route 335.

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

The work will be carried out in the evening and at night in order to limit the impact on traffic. It should be completed by mid-October.

From Friday, September 9, at 11:59 p.m. to Saturday, September 10, at 7 a.m., the Ministry provides for the complete closure of the southern direction, between exit no. 3 (Henri-Bourassa Boulevard) and Highway 40.

A complete closure, northbound, between Highway 40 and exit no. 2 (de l’Acadie/Henri-Bourassa Boulevard /Sauvé Street), is scheduled for the same hours, but this time from Friday, September 16 to Saturday, September 17.

Depending on the following phases that are planned, it’s possible that two of four lanes will be closed in each direction, although non-simultaneously. The Ministry of Transport mentions in its press release that a complete night closure, in both directions, is a possibility.

The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone. There are also plans to set up marked detours, using temporary signs.

The work could be cancelled, or postponed without notice due to operational or weather constraints. (N.P.)

This will take place between Saint-Saëns Street (east) and Dagenais Boulevard (east) from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

That hindrance is required in order to continue the necessary work for the construction of the Saint-Saëns interchange, as part of Highway 19’s extension project.

Road users going southbound will have access to a detour by taking des Laurentides Boulevard, westbound, as well as Dagenais Boulevard (east), eastbound, to return to Route 335.

Conversely, those going northbound can take des Grands-Maîtres Boulevard on the right, followed by Rang Saint-Elzéar on the left, and des Perron Avenue to return to their initial route.

Another possible detour is possible for people, when going through Dagenais Boulevard (east), heading west. Drivers would then need to take des Laurentides Boulevard northbound, and des Perron Avenue.

Trucks

Another detour is offered to truckers. When going southbound, truckers must take des Laurentides Boulevard, westbound, up to Highway 440 (east) in order to return to Route 335, southbound.

Northbound, trucks will be intercepted at the intersection of Route 335 and des Grands-Maîtres/Dagenais Boulevard (east). They’ll have to take des Grands-Maîtres and Robert-Bourassa boulevards, followed by the service road of Highway 440, westbound. This will allow truckers to get to des Laurentides Boulevard, northbound, and then up to Route 335. (N.P.)
