Weekend road work

Some traffic information for the upcoming weekend starting with only one lane available in either direction for the Mercier Bridge starting from tonight at 11pm until 8 am Saturday morning. The Airlie exit and entrances will be open during that work. The 221 will be closed in both directions from 7 pm tonight until 7 am Saturday morning. The MTQ is installing a rumble strip in the center lane in order to reduce head on collisions on the 7.4 kms of roadway between Highway 30 and St Remi. The speed limit on Monday was also reduced to 70 km/h from the current 90 km/h. A reminder that the deadline for installing winter tires on your vehicle is this Sunday, December 1st. It would be prudent to add windshield washer fluid, a snowbrush and some ice melt in our trunk as a precautionary measure.
