At the end of July, Quebecers head out in droves and hit the road to enjoy two weeks of glorious summer holidays at various destinations across the province and beyond.
The two weeks are known as the construction holiday, because it’s when most roadwork and other construction halts, allowing workers to enjoy some time off.
But all good things must come to an end and now, Quebecers are homeward bound, getting ready to settle back into work Monday morning.

Everyone heading home at the same time can mean long delays at the Canada-U.S. border.
The Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle border crossing is preparing for a huge influx of drivers Sunday afternoon.
With the peak of travellers expected to arrive at 2 p.m., border agents are hoping the wait times won’t exceed 30 minutes.
Agents are also asking motorists to have their passports ready to help processing times at the inspection booth.
To keep up to date with wait times, travellers can consult the Canada Border Services Agency website.
