The Quebec Transport Ministry (MTQ) is advising drivers to plan their routes before leaving on the long weekend as there will be multiple road closures due to constructions, fireworks and various Canada Day events on July 1.
July 1 is also moving day, so road users should be prepared for trucks, furniture on sidewalks and multiple tired people hauling sofas on streets and up stairs.
Fireworks

- The Ville-Marie and Viger tunnels (Ville-Marie Expressway) will also be closed, heading east between exit 4 (A-10, Victoria Bridge, Robert-Bourassa Blvd., de la Montagne St.) and Panet St.

Highway 30 (de l'Acier) - Beauharnois and Saint-Constant sectors
- From Friday at 8 p.m. to Tuesday at 6 a.m., one lane will be open in each direction on Highway 30 at Beauharnois (in the Madeleine-Parent Bridge area) and at Saint-Constant (R-209 area).
