On Thursday, September 24, 2026, the under‑23 women’s road race of the World Cycling Championships will be held on the Mount Royal circuit in Montreal. The event is scheduled to run from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., and the race will require the temporary closure of streets surrounding the course.
The competition marks the fifth day of the World Cycling Championships, which have been taking place across the city. Organisers have confirmed that the Mount Royal circuit will be the venue for the U23 women’s race, and that the road closures are essential to ensure the safety of the cyclists and to maintain the integrity of the race route.
Motorists are being advised that the closures will affect normal traffic flow on all streets that form part of the circuit during the six‑hour window. Drivers are urged to plan alternate routes and to follow any signage or directions from local authorities while the race is in progress.
The U23 women’s road race is one of several events scheduled during the championships, which continue to draw participants and spectators to Montreal. The day‑five race on Mount Royal is a key component of the overall programme, and the required street closures reflect the logistical needs of hosting an international cycling competition in an urban setting.
