Greater Montreal will see a series of road and transit interruptions on Saturday and Sunday, September 12-13, as the city hosts a major cycling Grand Prix and an AC/DC concert. Both events require extensive road closures and heightened security measures, affecting normal traffic flow across the metropolitan area.
The cycling Grand Prix will take place on Saturday, with race routes that cut through several key corridors in the Greater Montreal region. Officials have announced that streets along the course will be closed to regular traffic for the duration of the race, and public transit routes that normally use those streets will be rerouted or suspended. Drivers are being urged to seek alternative paths and to allow extra travel time.
On Sunday, the AC/DC concert will add another layer of disruption. The rock show will draw large crowds, prompting additional road closures around the venue and increased police and security presence. Public transit services near the concert location will also be adjusted to accommodate crowd control and safety protocols. Commuters are advised to check transit schedules and plan for possible delays.
Montreal regularly deals with construction-related traffic slowdowns, and the convergence of these two high‑profile events this weekend amplifies the impact on commuters. City authorities have emphasized the importance of following posted signage and staying informed through official channels to navigate the temporary changes safely.
