Highway 30 down to one lane near Varennes until November
The closures, in effect as of Monday, are necessary because a culvert is being replaced under the highway.
The work will also require the complete closure of Highway 30, in both directions, for certain hours during the night.	Dave Sidaway / Montreal Gazette
Highway 30 will be down to one lane in each direction near the town of Varennes for several months, the Quebec Transport Ministry announced this week.
The work will be done in two parts and is expected to last until November.
Until June, one lane will be closed in both directions at Exit 95.
From June to November, when workers will replace the culvert, Highway 30 west will be closed in its entirety in the area.
A two-direction passage will be established on the opposite highway, with one lane reserved for both directions.
The speed limit will be reduced to 70 km/h in the affected area, and the ministry warns there will be a heavy police presence.
The work will also require the complete closure of Highway 30, in both directions, for certain hours during the night.
