Affected buses (in particular 141, 188 and 372) are detoured onto B\u00e9langer and Everett Sts. to avoid those areas, and a temporary shuttle bus (No. 814<\/a>) has been established along Jean-Talon and B\u00e9langer Sts.<\/p>\n Ste-Catherine St. (Ville-Marie): Major work on the street and underground infrastructure means it is closed between St-Mathieu and Mackay Sts., and between de la Montagne and Peel Sts. Crossing streets are also blocked. Guy St. is closed at Ste-Catherine St.<\/p>\n Berri St. (Ville-Marie): Major work at the Berri-UQAM m\u00e9tro station has resulted in Berri St. being closed between Ste-Catherine and Ontario Sts., and de Maisonneuve Blvd. being closed between St-Denis and St-Hubert Sts. until November 2027. Traffic is detoured via St-Hubert, Atateken, St-Urbain or Ontario Sts., or Ren\u00e9-L\u00e9vesque Blvd., while cyclists are being diverted to Atateken and Ontario Sts.
