This weekend, motorists who use the interchange of highways 13 and 520, in Montreal, and that of the Samuel-De Champlain bridge, in Brossard, will have to plan an alternative solution. Please note, the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) service is also experiencing certain timetable changes.
Published yesterday at 6:20 p.m.
Starting Friday, November 29, at 10 p.m., Chemin de la Côte-de-Liesse, eastbound, will be closed at Highway 13. Motorists will not be able to use this portion of the road crossing Montreal and Dorval until ‘until Monday, December 2, 5 a.m.
The detour will be via the 23e Avenue, Hickmore Street and Montée de Liesse north.
Thus, exit 4 of the A-520 eastbound will also be closed to motorists, by default. The same applies to the A-520 east ramps leading to the A-13, whether in the direction of Lachine or Laval. Motorists coming from Lachine, on the A-13, will also not have access to the ramp towards the A-520 east.
