Major Highway Closures in Montreal: Plan Ahead

0:00It's April 20th. Welcome to Canada News today, powered by AI. Montreal drivers heads up for major closures on Highway 520 West this weekend. The Ministry of Transport is shutting it down completely from Friday at 9.30 pm until Monday at 5 a.m. between exit 4 and the highway, 13 south entrance. This is all for reconstructing the overpass above Highway 13 with a detour set up on the Coat Daily S service road. Right after that, expect one lane only on 520 West through the Highway 13 area until May 4th at 5 a.m. The entrance from Montaille, D'Aliès stays closed too, keeping the reconstruction moving safely. These shutdowns mean heavy congestion around there, especially if you're heading to Montreal Trudeau International Airport. So plan for extra time on the road, folks in the West Island will feel it too. Meanwhile, Highway 30 East sees its own headaches with exit 2 closed from Friday at 8 a.m. to Monday at 5 a.m. plus the ramp from route.

1:03340 blocked off, detours are marked but delays are likely. Check Quebec 511 before you roll out, since weather or other issues could shift these plans. Stay patient and follow the signs to keep everyone safe.
