During the Easter long weekend, major traffic restrictions in Greater Montreal are announced by Mobilité Montréal. Motorists are warned: the Papineau-Leblanc bridge will be closed from Thursday at 10 p.m. until Monday at 11:59 p.m.

The Papineau-Leblanc bridge, which Highway 19 crosses, connects Laval and the borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville to Montreal. In the south direction, the detour will take the service road of Highway 440 in the east direction, via the Pie-IX bridge or via the Médéric-Martin bridge in the west direction.

Heading north, the detour will take place via Boulevard Henri-Bourassa, via the Pie-IX or Viau bridges and via Boulevard de la Concorde.

Access to Saint-Martin Boulevard from Highway 440 is maintained.

The Quebec Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility predicts heavy congestion, especially on Saturday, during the Montreal Canadiens game at the Bell Centre.

Trains on lines 11 and 14 will stop at Vendôme station. Customers can then take the metro at Vendôme station, on the orange line.

As for line 12, the exo company explains that users will have to stop at Parc station, from where they can take the metro to Parc station on the blue line.

However, certain trains on line 12 will continue their journey to Montreal West station to ensure continued access to students and workers in this sector.
