Local Road Work to Cause Traffic Headaches

Kahnawà:ke residents can expect some difficulty getting around the area in the coming months.

A paving project on the Old Malone Highway will cause a partial closure of the road for the next month or so. Work on the project began today and is expected to carry on until October 3rd. The section of the Old Malone Highway between the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Tunnel and the Route 132 intersection will be completely closed during that time. However, detours are in place for businesses impacted by the closure and for those travelling to the village area via the 132.

Châteauguay, meanwhile, will be having its own share of traffic problems as work to re-align Industrial Boulevard gets underway this Wednesday, September 10th. Boulevard Saint-Jean-Baptiste, between Rue Rodrigue and Boulevard Saint-Francis, will be down to one lane in each direction until December. Access from Saint-Francis to Saint-Jean-Baptiste will also be completely closed Wednesday and Thursday.
