Published on 16 March 2018

Please take note that during the weekend of March 16 to 19, the installation of the drainage network within the scope of the the New Champlain Bridge Corridor Project requires work in open tranches along the l’Île-des-Soeurs Boulevard. Furthermore, two structures located between the lanes of Highway 15 will be demolished.

The works require several traffic lanes closures in the Nun’s Island. See details below:

  • Closure of the left lane on Hwy-15 North from the end of the Champlain Bridge to the start of L’Île-des-Soeurs bypass bridge from Friday 11p.m. to Monday 5 a.m.
  • Complete closure of Hwy 10 East (Bonaventure) at Exit 4- Boulevard Gaétan-Laberge / Verdun – beginning from Friday 11 p.m. to Monday 5 a.m.
  • Complete closure of Exit 57-N – Pointe-Nord of L’Île-des-Sœurs off Hwy-1 5 South from Friday 11 p.m. to Monday 5 a.m.
  • Complete closure of l’Île-des-Sœurs Boulevard in both directions from Friday 11 p.m. to Monday 5 a.m. During this period, René-Lévesque Boulevard will be open to road users in both directions, requiring the closure of the pedestrian sidewalk. A shuttle for pedestrians will be available between 8 am and 8 pm to allow traffic in the area.

Furthermore to these closures, other major road closures during the week of March 16, 2018 are planned.
