As thousands of Montrealers prepare to get out of town for spring break with the kids, Transport Quebec wants to remind people that those working to build new Turcot interchange won't be taking a holiday.
Here's the list of closures that will be in effect for the weekend of March 2 in and around the Turcot:
• Route 136 (the Ville-Marie) westbound will be completely closed between exit 5 and the St. Pierre interchange from Friday night at midnight until Monday at 5 a.m.
• The 136 eastbound will be closed between the Turcot and Cathedral/Notre Dame Sts. during the same time period.
