Bike Paths to Close for Grand Prix

Access to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve race track on Ile Notre Dame will be closed to cyclists starting this weekend. The Grand Prix Formula One race has led officials to close off access for safety reasons.

Access will be shut down starting at six a.m. June fourth until five a.m. June fourteenth. Access to Ile Notre Dame from the South Shore via the Victoria Bridge cycling path will also be closed.

Cyclists will have access to Ile Ste. Helene via the de la Concorde Bridge. Cyclists will also be able to go to and from the South Shore using the Jacques Cartier Bridge.
