As the Turcot project nears completion, new construction along a section of St-Jacques street has caused 'terrible' traffic congestion.

The City of Montreal has taken advantage of the warmth over the past few days to release its pothole-filling equipment on the arterial network.

Montreal's fifth snow removal operation has finished 10 days after the recent snowstorms.

It could take until next Friday to clear all the snow.

While it's not as bad as Newfoundland's 76.2 cms, Montreal was hit with close to 20 cm Saturday night which now needs to be cleared away.

Residents also have their part to play to ensure operations run smoothly. 

Repair work will continue this weekend.

The city of Montreal is reminding drivers to respect no parking signs, as snow removal operations get underway.

The city says it hopes to plant 22,000 trees by year's end, increasing Montreal's green canopy by five per cent.

Commuters say the alternating one-way section of the street is confusing drivers and slowing them down.
