The Samuel-De Champlain Bridge is closing completely in the southbound direction toward Brossard from Friday, August 21 at 11 p.m. through Monday, August 24 at 5 a.m. for road resurfacing work.

During the closure, no southbound access to the bridge will be possible. A long list of connected highway sections and ramps are closing simultaneously, including Highway 15 South/Highway 20 East between exit 63-O and the Route 132 East entrance, the Girouard Avenue access ramp toward Highway 15 South, exit 68 from Highway 20 East, exits 61 and 62 from Highway 15 South, exits 4, 5 and 6 from Highway 10 East, access to Highway 15 South from Boulevard de L'Île-des-Sœurs, and Pont Champlain street starting at Boulevard René-Lévesque.

Drivers are advised to use the Turcot interchange via Route 136 East and Route 134, or the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and Route 132 as detours. The bike path through the bridge remains open. The Réseau des ponts is urging drivers to avoid the sector during peak hours and to consider public transit or working from home if possible.

A second full closure in the northbound direction is already scheduled for August 28 to 31. Drivers should check Quebec511.info before travelling and allow extra time for detours.
