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.)

On Thursday, Sept. 15, at 7:50 a.m., many calls were made to 911 about an event involving two vehicles that occurred on the service road of Highway 15 (northbound), near du Souvenir Boulevard .

The victim, a 53-year-old man, was reportedly hit head-on by a vehicle that subsequently left the scene, in what looks like a new case of extreme road rage on the roads of Quebec.

“We’re talking about an important witness, who was driving a grey Hyundai Accent, a model from years 2017–2010,” said Erika Landry, spokesperson for the SPL.

When arriving, police officers found the victim on the ground, in critical condition. The person was quickly transported to a hospital. The victim was kept in artificial life temporarily, pending a possible organ donation, before the death was finally confirmed on the morning of Friday, Sept. 16.

In the event of an arrest, the person driving the vehicle that struck the victim should face, at least, a charge of hit and run causing death.
