Tour De Lile closes dozens of Montreal streets Sunday
Tour de lile will take over dozens of streets across multiple Montreal boroughs on Sunday, with the larger event running from 8:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Drivers are being told to plan ahead because the closures come alongside the Go vélo Montréal Festival and several major construction projects.
The biggest disruption lands in neighborhoods from Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension to Outremont, with cyclists moving through streets that include Saint-Laurent Boulevard, Jarry Street West, Park Avenue and Beaubien Street. The route also cuts through Ville-Marie, the Sud-Ouest, Westmount and Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.
Villeray And Ahuntsic Closures
In Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, Saint-Laurent Boulevard will be closed between Bernard Street and Legendre Street, while Jarry Street West will shut down to De l’Épée Avenue. Park Avenue will be inaccessible between Parc métro station and Thérèse-Lavoie Avenue, and several surrounding streets near Frédéric-Back Park will be blocked during the event.
Saint-Michel Boulevard will stay mostly open, but not everywhere. Sections near Deville and Hérelle streets, along with the Beaubien Street intersection, will be affected.
Ahuntsic-Cartierville will see Saint-Hubert Street closed from Legendre Street to Gouin Boulevard, with eastbound lanes on Gouin Boulevard reserved for cyclists. De Lorimier Avenue will also be closed between Prieur Street and Frédéric-Back Park, tying that part of the route into the broader city network of closures.
Central Montreal Route
In Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Beaubien Street will be closed between 21st Avenue and Des Érables Avenue. Plateau-Mont-Royal will also feel the route, with disruptions on residential streets including Henri-Julien and Drolet streets as cyclists pass through the Roy and Saint-Denis intersection toward Ville-Marie.
Downtown, closures will affect Saint-Denis Street, Sainte-Catherine Street, Saint-Laurent Boulevard and Saint-Antoine Street near Victoria Square and McGill Street. The Sud-Ouest route adds Wellington Street, Saint-Patrick Street and Notre-Dame Street, with closures through the Lachine Canal sector and the Saint-Rémi tunnel area.
Westmount And Laval Run
Westmount, Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and Outremont will see closures on portions of Saint-Catherine Street, Sherbrooke Street, Earnscliffe Avenue, McLynn Avenue and Barclay Avenue. For drivers crossing the city, that means the event reaches far beyond one corridor and into several parts of the road network at once.
The other major Sunday disruption sits outside Montreal. The Laval Firefighters’ Run will close several roads from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., adding another layer of traffic pressure before the Tour de l’Île schedule even begins.
