Montreal-area drivers should be advised that road and bridge closures are expected this weekend due to construction and several special events.

The Santa Claus Parade and the Montreal Canadiens’ game on Saturday, as well as the weekend-long NATO summit at the Palais des congrès will cause added traffic. Two bridges also have construction work scheduled.

In addition, work on the REM line will halt service between Montreal and the South Shore.
