But Leckner warns that closures will only get worse.
“Starting this fall, there will be major disruptions through the Turcot Interchange and then at the end of 2017 this year, they’ll be closing the Westbound Ville-Marie Expressway to demolish it and that’s gonna be very challenging as well,” he said.
