The ministère des Transports (MTQ) informs us that the reconstruction of the concrete pavement of Highway 40 eastbound will resume on April 16 following its interruption for the winter period.

As of May 3, 2021, the Ministère des Transports (MTQ) will begin reconstruction work on the eastbound pavement of Highway 40, from Anciens-Combattants Boulevard to Lee Avenue, in addition to opening the service road in the west sector to Pirie Avenue.

The Town will keep you informed of any future developments in this project. We strongly recommend that you follow the information provided by the MTQ by consulting the Québec 511.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Starting June 20, at 5 a.m., the Ministère des Transports (MTQ) will proceed with the complete closure of the eastbound pavement of Highway 40, as part of the reconstruction of the A-40 eastbound pavement in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and Baie-D'Urfé. Traffic will be diverted in the opposite direction, between Boulevard des Anciens-Combattants and the Lee Avenue area, where traffic will be diverted in the opposite direction. Access through the industrial sector will be from Exit #41 - Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue / Boul. des Anciens-Combattants since exit #44 - Morgan Blvd. Morgan will be inaccessible by the contraflow lane on Highway 40.

This scenario will be in place until December, and will resume next year after a winter break.
