Le tunnel L.-H.-La Fontaine 100 % fermé dans une direction ce week-end : Voici quoi savoir
Si tu dois traverser le fleuve, mieux vaut prévoir un plan B.
Réfection majeure du tunnel Louis-H.-La Fontaine | Facebook
À peine remis des entraves de l'Action de grâce, les automobilistes qui circulent entre Montréal et la Rive-Sud devront encore s'armer de patience. Le tunnel Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine sera complètement fermé dans un sens pendant toute une fin de semaine, et partiellement de nuit dans l'autre.

Cette fois, c'est la direction de Montréal qui écope. Le ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (MTMD) a annoncé par communiqué ce lundi 19 octobre que l'autoroute 25, tunnel compris, sera fermée vers l'île durant la fin de semaine du vendredi 23 octobre.
Le chantier vise à effectuer de l'entretien et des interventions sur les systèmes électriques et de communication du tunnel. Les équipes en profiteront pour réparer des composantes abîmées lors d'incidents et d'accrochages survenus au cours de la dernière année.
Du vendredi 23 octobre à 22 h jusqu'au lundi 26 octobre à 5 h, l'autoroute 25 en direction nord sera entièrement fermée, tunnel inclus.
Le tronçon touché s'étend de la sortie no 90 (autoroute 20 ouest, route 132, La Prairie, États-Unis, Varennes, aéroport P.-E.-Trudeau) jusqu'à l'entrée en provenance de la rue Sherbrooke.
Les entrées de ce secteur fermeront 30 minutes avant le début de l'entrave. La bretelle d'accès qui vient de l'avenue Souligny en direction est restera toutefois accessible pendant la journée.
Des fermetures de nuit vers la Rive-Sud
Si tu dois te rendre dans le 450, la circulation sera possible le jour, mais pas la nuit. L'autoroute 25 en direction de la Rive-Sud, tunnel compris, sera fermée entre la sortie no 4 (centre-ville de Montréal, pont Jacques-Cartier) et l'entrée de l'île Charron selon l'horaire suivant :
- De vendredi 22 h à samedi 8 h
- De samedi 22 h à dimanche 9 h
- De dimanche 22 h à lundi 5 h
Ici aussi, les entrées du tronçon fermeront 30 minutes plus tôt. Même chose pour l'avenue Souligny en direction est, entre les rues Dickson et Honoré-Beaugrand.
Une inspection forcera également la fermeture de l'avenue Souligny en direction ouest dans la nuit de vendredi à samedi, de 22 h à 8 h.
Le secteur fermé se trouve entre la rue Honoré-Beaugrand et la sortie no 4 de l'autoroute 25 en direction sud.
Pour traverser le fleuve, les ponts Jacques-Cartier et Samuel-De Champlain demeurent les options les plus évidentes, mais attends-toi à ce qu'ils soient plus achalandés qu'à l'habitude.

Wainwright, Alta., residents grieving but resilient after tragic fire on army base
Army town remains stoic after military base fire

Residents of a central Alberta town are grieving after a vicious fire killed four men and injured dozens more at a nearby military base, but living alongside soldiers preparing for battle has built up a deep stoicism and resilience in the community.
"It's heartbreaking. My heart goes out to the families but we'll bounce back," said Sharon Pashko, 79, whose uncle was once commander of CFB Wainwright.
Pashko said the community, about 200 kilometres southeast of Edmonton, takes care of its own and should be proud.
"We've gone above and beyond and I'm very proud of Wainwright residents," she added.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been meeting with constituents in the town, which is in his Battle River-Crowfoot riding. He said while many unanswered questions remain, people are coping.
"I'm just amazed how resilient and strong the people are. Nobody's breaking. Everyone's just putting their head down and they're doing their jobs. It's the best of Canada," he said.
"They're obviously heartbroken. They see the loss of these brilliant young men in the springtimes of their lives but at the same time they bounce back and they keep working to support the living."
Wainwright Mayor Bruce Pugh said the base has always been a part of the community.
"It's a part of us and we're a part of it. It's a symbiotic relationship," he said.
Despite the temporary closure of the local polling station for Alberta's referendum, a steady stream of voters continued to cast ballots Monday.
"A couple of friends of mine from church are in the military and I've heard, last night, that they were actually both in Latvia right now,” Dustin Degenhardt said after voting.
“I'm grateful that they're safe, but at the same time I know hearts are here too.”
Degenhardt said the tragedy didn't affect how he voted and sees the two as separate issues. Other residents shared that view, while some said the shadow of the fire loomed over their decision.

Advance voting in B.C. election is down compared to 2024
Advance voting in B.C. down compared to 2024
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chad Hipolito
The number of ballots cast in the first three days of advance voting in the British Columbia election is down about 8 per cent compared to 2024.
Elections BC says there were about 440,000 votes cast from Friday to Sunday, compared to almost 480,000 for the first three days of advance voting last election, which set a record for total advance turnout.
Early voting continues at hundreds of places across the province today and tomorrow until 8 p.m. ahead of final voting day on Saturday.
There were more than one million advance ballots cast in 2024, a surge of 49 per cent compared to the previous election, and a report by the chief electoral officer says the process has been steadily increasing in popularity for two decades.
The report says almost half of all votes in 2024 were cast in advance, compared to about 20 per cent as recently as 2013.
The ballots cast in advance so far for the current election represent about 12 per cent of all registered voters.
