As a result, <a href="https://www.newswire.ca/fr/news-releases/planifier-ses-deplacements-sur-le-reseau-autoroutier-entraves-majeures-durant-la-fin-de-semaine-du-5-au-8-septembre-869305458.html" target="_blank">Quebec's transport ministry</a> is warning drivers to plan ahead, give themselves extra time, and avoid the busiest sectors where possible.</p><p>Here's a breakdown of the major closures from September 5 to 8:</p> <h3>A-40 Eastbound / Métropolitaine</h3> <p>The A-40 east will be completely closed from Exit 65 (A-520/Côte-de-Liesse roundabout) to the A-15 southbound access, starting Friday at 11:30 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m. Several ramps in the Décarie interchange are also shut, including those from A-15 north and Marcel-Laurin. Detours will be in place via service roads and Boulevard Décarie, but heavy congestion is expected.</p> <h3>A-10 / Bonaventure Highway</h3> <p>Expect closures eastbound between Exit 4 (A-15/A-20) and the Samuel-De Champlain Bridge on three consecutive nights: Thursday to Friday, Friday to Saturday, and Saturday to Sunday, each from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Traffic will be redirected through Boulevard Gaétan-Laberge and A-15 south.</p> <h3>A-25 North and South (Hochelaga-Maisonneuve)</h3> <ul> <li> <strong>Northbound</strong>: Closed from Exit 5 (Sherbrooke/Yves-Prevost) to Sherbrooke East from Friday at 11 p.m. to Saturday at 8 a.m.</li> <li> <strong>Southbound</strong>: Closed Sunday from 10 p.m. to Monday at 5 a.m., same stretch.</li> </ul> <p>Drivers will be detoured via Exit 5 and Rue de Boucherville.</p> <h3>Local Roads to Watch</h3> <ul> <li> <strong>Boulevard Montréal-Toronto East (Lachine)</strong>: Closed between Saint-Joseph and Saint-Pierre from Friday 10 p.m. to Monday 5 a.m.</li> <li> <strong>Rue Saint-Jacques (Le Sud-Ouest)</strong>: Eastbound closed between des Seigneurs and Guy from Friday 10 p.m. to Sunday 10 p.m.</li> <li> <strong>Rue Saint-Antoine Ouest (Ville-Marie)</strong>: Closed between Peel and Jean-D’Estrées on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.</li> </ul> <h3>REM Shutdown and Event Traffic</h3> <p>The REM will be fully closed on Saturday and Sunday for maintenance, with replacement shuttles running between downtown and the South Shore.</p><p>On top of that, the Alouettes play at Percival-Molson Stadium Saturday afternoon, so expect congestion around Parc Avenue and Saint-Urbain. Public transit is strongly recommended.</p> <h3>Other Closures and Reminders</h3> <ul> <li> On the A-50 in Mirabel, Exit 285-N (airport/cargo) will be closed Saturday and Sunday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Drivers will need to turn around at the next exit.</li> <li> Counterflow traffic remains in effect on the A-40 between Berthierville and Lanoraie, with just one lane each way. The A-20 is a better option for drivers between Montreal and Trois-Rivières.</li> <li> Ongoing work continues in Terrebonne/Charlemagne and near Bonaventure/Victoria, with lane restrictions that will last into the fall.</li></ul> <p>With highway closures, street detours, and the REM out of service, it'll take some patience to get around this weekend.
