The city of Montreal has created custom orange signs to help a microbrewery, Le Cheval Blanc, which is obscured by ongoing construction works. These signs are meant to assure patrons that the establishment is open despite its challenging access due to large construction projects blocking the streets nearby. The microbrewery's owner has expressed appreciation for the signs, hoping to maintain accessibility and patronage amid the noisy and disruptive environment. The construction is part of a larger sewer renovation project involving old infrastructure beneath Ontario Street.

La Ville de Montréal a conçu des panneaux orange personnalisés pour aider la microbrasserie Le Cheval Blanc, cachée par les travaux de construction en cours. Ces panneaux visent à rassurer les clients que l'établissement est ouvert malgré l'accès compliqué par des chantiers importants bloquant les rues avoisinantes. Le propriétaire de la microbrasserie apprécie ces panneaux, espérant rester accessible et conserver sa clientèle malgré un environnement bruyant et perturbateur. Ces travaux font partie d'un projet plus vaste de rénovation des égouts datant de l'ancienne infrastructure de la rue Ontario.

A power pylon has fallen onto the road, leading to the closure of part of Highway 19 between Highway 440 and Saint-Martin East Boulevard in Laval.

A prolonged construction project on Christophe-Colomb Avenue in Rosemont has been causing frustration among local residents. The work has continued into its third year, leading to complaints from neighbors about disruptions and inefficiencies. The ongoing presence of the construction site has exasperated those living nearby, as they observe the seemingly endless process of pouring and removing concrete.

Motorists should anticipate delays if they plan to enter or exit the island of Montreal this weekend due to planned closures. These closures will affect significant infrastructure, including the La Fontaine Tunnel and the Île-aux-Tourtes Bridge. This could impact traffic flow significantly for those traveling in these areas.

The cost of the major construction project on the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel is expected to rise by at least 250 million dollars. This comes after the project has already experienced delays of about one year. The total cost could approach 3 billion dollars. Such financial overruns are raising concerns, highlighting challenges in managing large-scale infrastructure projects.

The restoration work on the Louis-Hyppolite-La Fontaine bridge-tunnel will move to the second tube starting April 28. This major infrastructure project involves significant refurbishment efforts to update and maintain the tunnel. The construction activities are part of a larger effort to ensure the safety and longevity of this critical transportation link.
