Published on 29 November 2017

As part of the construction of the new Champlain Bridge, Signature on the Saint Lawrence wishes to inform drivers of major disruptions during the weekend of December 1, 2017. Hwy-15 North (between Exit 58 and Atwater) and Hwy-15 South (between the Turcot Interchange and Exit 60) will be completely closed between the Champlain Bridge and the Turcot Interchange to allow work for the change in phase on the new Champlain Bridge Corridor.

Hwy-15 North will therefore be fully closed from Exit 58 (for downtown Montreal and L’Île-des-Sœurs) to Exit 61 (Atwater) from Friday, December 1 (10 p.m.) to Monday, December 4 (5 a.m.). Drivers are encouraged to stay on the Bonaventure Expressway to take Hwy-720 from Saint-Antoine Street. They can then follow the detour signs on the 720.

Hwy-15 South will be completely closed from the Turcot Interchange to Exit 60 (Gaétan-Laberge) from Friday, December 1 (10 p.m.) to Monday, December 4 (5 a.m.). Drivers can take Hwy-136 to reach the Bonaventure Expressway from Duke Street. There will be detour signs throughout showing drivers where to go.

Please note that as of Monday, December 4, 2017, Exit 61 (Atwater) off Hwy-15 North will be fully closed for a number of weeks. A temporary Exit 61 will open, with a traffic light allowing a right turn (Verdun) and left turn (Le Sud-Ouest). Drivers will be able to continue to Exit 62 (Vérendrye).

There will be signs indicating the various detours and police officers will be strategically placed to limit the impact on traffic in the area.
