Everyone North of or in Laval is phucked.

[Cheecho98]

Every service road, street, or boulevard going towards Montreal from Laval will be jammed. The 15 is toast, Cure Labelle, Laurentides, the 19, 125, 25 all jammed. Should be interesting.

Good luck to everyone living North of Montreal.

DÉBUT DU CHANTIER DE RECONSTRUCTION D’UN TRONÇON DE L’A-13 SUD

Les travaux de reconstruction de la chaussée de l’autoroute 13 en direction sud, entre le boulevard Dagenais et l’autoroute 440, débuteront le 18 mai et se poursuivront jusqu’à la fin septembre.
Dans les prochaines semaines, l’autoroute 13 en direction sud sera complètement fermée à la circulation entre le boulevard Sainte-Rose et l’autoroute 440.

La circulation sera déviée sur les deux voies de service en tout temps.

Aux heures de pointe du matin, une voie supplémentaire sera disponible sur la chaussée opposée.
Des fermetures partielles et ponctuelles sont aussi à prévoir.

Will it be worse than A20 east? I got stuck there last year for 3 hours. I just took that again last week and the construction is still going

Will it be worse than A20 east?

I don't know the traffic numbers, but I think it will be very close if not worse. The 640 and 440 highways are not very wide and both have horrible interchanges to get onto the 15 South. Having all the traffic from St-Jerome, Mirabel, St-Eustache, a good chunk of Laval, Blainville, and a handful of others all funnel through the 15 or further east is going to be a disaster for both Montreal and Laval. The metropolitan is already chaotic, now it's going to have an influx of traffic from the 15, 19,125, and 25. Both directions will be saturated during both rush hours. This highway closure will wreak havoc on Montreal as much as it will in Laval.

Actually after writing all of this, I'm fairly certain this will be worse than the 20.

What else is new. Montreal has had never ending construction since the past 15 years. This kind of forces ppl to use public transit which is what the politicians want. All this never ending construction discourages me to drive to stripclubs.

The 15 is already shit. This will make it way worse and the congestion when it gets down to the 40 will be retarded. Don't know if it will be worse than the bridge construction was. All the north/south Laval arteries will be fucked though, with people wanting to get down to St Martin and Samson, which will each in turn be disasters. It's gonna suck, no doubt about it.

Yep and I do not forget about tunnel Ville-Marie. This tunnel has been blocked every night since past 15 years. I want to go to 10/35, I got to get stuck in traffic to get there adding 15 mins to my commute time. I want to got to Amazones, no direct route except taking streets with traffic lights. It is worse now cuz there is construction on Viger and St-Urbain. So going to Robert-Bourrassa to get to the Bonaventure Expressway you get stuck in traffic. De Lorimier got construction now. The street is one way now so getting to the Jacques-Cartier bridge means taking detours.
