Transport Quebec announced that the southbound lanes of Highway 15, also known as Marie-Victorin Boulevard, will be closed each night from September 28 to October 7. The closure will span the stretch between the Samuel De Champlain Bridge area and Tessier Street in Montreal. The work, scheduled to take place overnight, is intended to allow paving operations to be completed without daytime traffic interference.
The ten-night closure affects one of Montreal's primary north‑south corridors, meaning that regular commuters and freight traffic will encounter reduced capacity during the specified period. Drivers traveling south on Highway 15 are advised to expect slower movement and possible delays as the lane is unavailable each night. While the southbound side is being worked on, the northbound lanes will remain open, but traffic may still be impacted by merging and altered traffic patterns. Motorists are encouraged to plan their trips accordingly and consider using alternative routes or adjusting travel times where feasible.
Transport Quebec indicated that the decision to perform the paving work overnight was made to minimise disruption to the overall flow of traffic during peak daytime hours. The agency expects the work to be completed within the ten-night window, after which the southbound lanes will reopen to normal traffic conditions. The project is part of ongoing maintenance efforts to preserve the quality and safety of the province's highway network.
