The MTQ foresees significant obstacles for the Pierre Laporte bridge and the Quebec bridge
The Quebec Bridge will be completely closed from May 10 at 10 p.m. to May 11 at 10 p.m. to continue drainage work and repair the roadway on Route 175 on the northern approach.
The Pierre-Laporte Bridge will be closed for short periods during the nights of May 12 to 16 in order to carry out various surveys of the structure.
The MTQ specifies that under no circumstances will the Pierre-Laporte and Quebec bridges be closed at the same time.

During the targeted periods for the three complete closures, road users are invited to avoid the sector and use the Quebec Bridge if travel cannot be avoided. However, it will be possible to access the Pierre-Laporte bridge between periods of complete 30-minute closures, traffic being directed by patrols from the Ministry in collaboration with the Sûreté du Québec and Stratégie Routier Québec. The Department’s emergency coordination center will be active to respond to urgent situations that may arise during the event.
The Ministry would like to remind you that the ban on truck traffic on the Quebec Bridge will remain in effect, even during the complete closures of the Pierre-Laporte Bridge.
Other closures will be required on the Quebec Bridge in the coming weeks.
