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.)

This will cause complete night closures on an irregular basis until Dec. 5.

Traffic Management

During complete closures in both directions, a detour for drivers will be offered via Highway 19.

Heavy vehicles will instead use Highway 15.

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 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.)

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.)
