Emergency Repairs Bring Traffic to Turcot Interchange

The closing of Decarie Blvd. is just the beginning of traffic woes for Montrealers.

Transport Quebec has blocked off a section of the Turcot Interchange for emergency repairs. The repairs were ordered after cracks were found in the lanes connecting highway 720 westbound to highway 20. Drivers heading to the West Island could face bumper to bumper traffic as only one lane will be open.

The repairs come at a time when the province is planning a complete face-lift of the Turcot.

Drivers are being advised to take alternate routes or public transportation. Repairs are expected to continue until July.
