A large section of Autoroute 40 East in Montreal is set to close for the whole weekend.

In a press release, Transports Québec said that repair work on the pavement necessitates the complete closure of A-40 Est between exit 71 to boulevard Saint-Laurent / rue Saint-Denis and the entrance from boulevard Saint-Michel.

Transports Québec warns that "episodes of congestion are to be expected."

The recommended alternative routes are via Autoroutes 20, 30 or 440.
