Summary
Montreal drivers brace for a challenging long weekend with significant highway closures starting tonight. Route 136 eastbound through the Ville-Marie Tunnel will be closed from Friday at 11 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m. for repairs and upgrades. The Turcot Interchange and Highway 25 will also experience overnight closures. These works mark the beginning of construction season, potentially causing traffic congestion for Grand Prix, Canadiens playoff game, and airport travelers. While locals understand the need for repairs, they express frustration over the detours and resulting traffic jams. Transport Québec advises checking Québec 511 for updates and planning accordingly to avoid the hassle. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
