Quebec drivers are being warned to expect delays and construction during the upcoming holiday season.
The Ministry of Transport has issued a statement advising motorists to plan their routes carefully and allow for extra travel time due to ongoing roadwork projects.
According to the ministry, there are currently over 200 construction sites across the province, with many of them located on major highways and bridges.
This means that drivers can expect reduced speed limits, lane closures, and detours, which could lead to significant delays.
The holiday season is traditionally a busy time for travel, and with the added challenges of construction, it is important for drivers to be prepared and patient.
The ministry is also reminding drivers to obey all traffic signs and to slow down in construction zones for the safety of workers and other motorists.
In addition, they are encouraging drivers to use alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit, to avoid the potential traffic congestion.
The construction projects are part of the Quebec government’s ongoing efforts to improve and maintain the province’s road infrastructure.
While the inconvenience may be frustrating for drivers, these projects are necessary for the safety and efficiency of our roads.
The ministry is urging drivers to plan ahead and stay informed about any potential road closures or detours by checking the Quebec 511 website or app.
They also advise drivers to be patient and courteous on the roads, especially during this busy holiday season.
So, as you hit the road this holiday season, remember to plan ahead, stay informed, and drive safely. Happy holidays and safe travels to all.
