Summer Road Construction in Quebec: Detours and Alternate Routes for Motorists

2023-06-26 19:52:21

Motorists will have to be patient to take one of the two inter-river crossings in the Quebec region. The Quebec Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility will be carrying out major work there for the vast majority of the summer.

The ramps leading from Autoroute Henri-IV to Boulevard Champlain and from Boulevard Champlain to Autoroute Henri-IV southbound will be closed from June 27 to August 10 inclusively.

According to the MTQ, it is to rebuild a culvert on Boulevard Champlain that these barriers will be in effect during the holidays.

“This intervention is planned in the project to redevelop the interchanges north of the Pierre-Laporte and Quebec bridges,” explains spokesperson Émilie Lord in a press release.

Long detour

These major obstacles will force users to make numerous detours to circulate in the sector, particularly for those who want to go to Champlain Boulevard from the Henri-IV highway.

According to the route proposed by the MTQ, they will have to cross the Pierre-Laporte bridge and turn around by taking the Route des Rivières in Lévis, regarding five kilometers further. They will have to take the car link once more to access the exit to the boulevard.

The Ministry of Transport therefore asks motorists who can to “choose an alternative route for their trips” in order to avoid work zones.
