The progression of certain existing cracks on the bridge linking Vaudreuil-Dorion to Senneville will result in the closure of an additional lane from Tuesday.
Traffic will continue to have two lanes in each direction.
During the first frosts, the Ministry discovered the progression of some existing cracks on the side of the bridge towards Vaudreuil-Dorion.
“The Ministry has already started the necessary reinforcement works, but in order to continue the interventions in complete safety for workers and road users, the closure of an additional lane is necessary,” the Ministry of Transport said in a press release on Friday.
Until the work that has started is completed, the dynamic traffic routing that has existed since July 2022, which made it possible to maintain three lanes in the direction of Halde by a removable barrier, will be suspended.
To mitigate the impact of this additional lane closure, the ministry will temporarily establish a lane in each direction near the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge, reserved for buses and emergency vehicles. The date of commissioning will be announced in early 2023.
