The City of Montreal announced that Camillien‑Houde Way in the Mount Royal area will be closed for road maintenance and repairs from June 30 through July 14, 2026. The two‑week shutdown is intended to finish the work before an upcoming bike race that will use the route.
The closure applies to the entire length of Camillien‑Houde Way within the Mount Royal corridor. City officials said the timing was chosen to allow crews to complete the necessary repairs without interfering with the race schedule. The work includes standard road‑maintenance tasks aimed at improving surface conditions and safety for cyclists and drivers alike.
Motorists who normally travel over Mount Royal will be required to use designated detour routes while the street remains inaccessible. The city has posted signage at entry points to guide drivers onto alternative streets, and navigation services have been updated to reflect the temporary change. Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and to follow the posted directions to avoid congestion on surrounding roads.
The bike race, set to take place shortly after the repairs are finished, will benefit from a smoother and safer surface on Camillien‑Houde Way. Organizers have coordinated with municipal authorities to ensure the course meets the event’s standards, and the early completion of repairs is expected to reduce the risk of delays on race day.
Camillien‑Houde Way is scheduled to reopen to regular traffic on July 15, 2026, following a final inspection by city engineers. Residents and commuters are asked to remain patient during the construction period and to stay informed of any further updates released by the City of Montreal.
