The City of Montreal announced that Camillien‑Houde Way will be closed to traffic for a two‑week period beginning June 30 and ending July 14. The closure is part of road maintenance work that the municipality aims to finish before a scheduled bike race along the Mount Royal corridor.
During the shutdown, motorists are being directed to alternative routes to avoid the section of Camillien‑Houde Way that runs through the Mount Royal area. The city has issued detour information to help drivers navigate around the work zone while the repairs are carried out.
The timing of the repairs aligns with the city’s preparation for the upcoming bike race, which will use the Mount Royal corridor as part of its course. Officials indicated that completing the maintenance before the event is essential to ensure a safe and smooth experience for participants and spectators alike.
The two‑week window for the project was selected to allow crews to address the necessary repairs without extending the disruption beyond the race preparation period. By closing the road for this defined span, the city hopes to minimize the impact on both vehicular traffic and the event schedule.
Residents and commuters have been advised to plan their trips accordingly and to follow posted signage and online updates from the City of Montreal. The city’s transportation department will monitor the progress of the work and will reopen Camillien‑Houde Way promptly on July 14, assuming the repairs are completed as scheduled.
The closure represents a coordinated effort by municipal authorities to balance infrastructure upkeep with the logistical demands of a major sporting event in the capital region.
