Rue Barrée construction sign in Montreal.
It's finally the weekend in Montreal and you know what that means, right? Road closures! If you're planning on travelling in and around the Montreal area this weekend, then you should definitely know that there will be many road closures for construction, with most of the chaos occurring on Highway 25 in the La Fontaine tunnel, the Saint-Pierre interchange and the Mercier Bridge.
Mobilité Montréal is urging the public to avoid the following places as much as possible:
