Weekly traffic report: Oct. 10 - 17

Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians: review the listing of streets and related messages below for travel information of interest to you.

LaSalle Causeway

As a result of the causeway closure on Oct. 14, increased congestion is anticipated at the Waaban Crossing's main intersections. At the Montreal Street-John Counter Boulevard intersection, all left turning lanes will be open for traffic use on Oct. 14 due to recently completed paving and painting. This is expected to help reduce congestion, but road users are asked to be patient and plan for additional commuting time.

Please note that after Tuesday, Oct. 14, there will be more lane closures to accommodate remaining construction work.

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) wishes to advise the public that the LaSalle Causeway will be fully closed to vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians to allow for the temporary opening of the main marine navigation channel during the following periods:
