Montrealers travelling over Mount Royal will face detours for the next two weeks, as the city closes Camillien-Houde Way for road maintenance.<\/p>\n

The closure spans between Mont-Royal Boulevard and Remembrance Road and will remain in effect until July 10. <\/p>\n

The goal is to smooth out the surface and eliminate potholes ahead of the upcoming UCI Road World Championships. <\/p>\n

The international cycling event will see the world’s top cyclists racing through the streets of Montreal from Sept. 19 to 27. <\/p>\n

The city recently announced plans to make improvements to other roads along the circuit. <\/p>\n

While former mayor Val\u00e9rie Plante had proposed closing the mountain road to through traffic permanently, Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada scrapped those plans.<\/p>\n

During the repairs, drivers who typically use the mountain to cut between the Plateau and C\u00f4te-des-Neiges are advised to use C\u00f4te-des-Neiges Road or Park Avenue as alternate routes until the road fully reopens on July 10. <\/p>\n
