Another lane on le-aux-Tourtes bridge to close

Motorists who use the le-aux-Tourtes bridge daily might take more time to reach Montreal.

Another lane of the le-aux-Tourtes bridge will be closed indefinitely as of Dec. 20 for construction, Quebec's Transport Ministry announced Friday in a news release.

It said that a lane must be closedto allow workers to repair cracks on the side of the bridge in the direction of Vaudreuil-Dorion.

The ministry will temporarily set up a lane reserved for buses and emergency vehiclesin each direction.

The in-service date will be announced in early 2023.

Quebec is also reminding motorists that trucks must use the left lane when travelling on the bridge.
