I hope you don't plan on trying to get downtown from the West Island this weekend.
This is the first of 12 to 15 planned weekend closures of Route 136, the new roadway connecting Highway 20 to the Ville-Marie, between now and Spring 2017.
During the closure crews will begin the work to demolish the old elevated portion of the Ville-Marie Expressway, which is now closed.
The result will mean detours for you.
From 11:59 P.M. Friday to 5:00 A.M. Monday, Route 136 will be completely closed between the Turcot Interchange and Greene Ave.
Motorists will be detoured via Highway 15 south and the Bonaventure Expressway.
