Overnight closure of Westminster Avenue

Updated on October 8

Westminster Avenue will be fully closed between Milner and Avon from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. while final corrective work is carried out. Local detours will be in place. 

Once the measures are complete, please follow the new signage to help ensure the safety of all road users. Our Public Security officers will also maintain an increased presence.

The Town of Montreal West will soon implement transitional measures on Westminster Avenue, between Milner Avenue and Avon Road to comply with Transport Canada requirements and to improve safety and traffic flow near the Westminster level crossing, a complex and high-traffic area where motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and trains intersect.

The work is scheduled to take place from September 28 to October 3, 2026.
