Planning Your Trips Around Laval

Heavy rains caused by the remnants of Storm Debby have damaged the pumping system in the Dorval Tunnel on Highway 13, resulting in its closure until repairs are completed. As a result, a three-kilometer stretch between Highways 40 and 520 is closed in both directions due to standing water. For more information, visit Québec 511.

Unfortunately, the flooding has also led to the temporary closure—for an indefinite period—of the Chez Lionel restaurant, the Holiday Inn Laval Montréal, the Berge aux Quatre-vents beach, and the outdoor pools.
