Weekend traffic Aug. 16-19, 2024: Highway 13 is the only one closed

Article content

The good news is the Île-aux-Tourtes Bridge won’t be closed this weekend. The bad news is that it’s because there’s another, more pressing piece of highway that needs to be fixed first: Highway 13 in Dorval. Here are the trouble spots to avoid this weekend.

Highway 13

The Dorval Tunnel, which suffered damage from last week’s heavy rainfall, will be closed between Highways 40 and 520 from 11:59 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Sunday — or, in case of bad weather, from 11:59 p.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Monday — to continue repairs on a pumping station.
