One of Montreal's busiest tunnels will be closed this weekend and traffic may get rough

If you were planning to cross between Montreal and the South Shore this weekend, check your route before hitting the road. The Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine Tunnel will be fully closed in one direction and partially closed in the other as major construction work continues.
