Weekend closures planned for Montreal's La Fontaine Tunnel so workers can switch tubes | CBC News

The La Fontaine tunnel in Montreal is set to close for three years starting November 3, causing significant disruption to traffic as over 120,000 vehicles use it daily. The closure is part of a $2.3 billion project to repair the aging structure, which dates back to 1967. The Quebec government plans to mitigate traffic issues through measures such as increased public transit services, park-and-ride options, and new reserved bus lanes. However, there are concerns about the effectiveness of these solutions given the volume of displaced traffic.
