Westbound 174 to be partially closed between Champlain Rd. and Jeanne d'Arc Blvd.

The lefthand lane along the westbound Hwy. 174 will closed between Champlain Road and Jeanne d'Arc Blvd. for the next seven days to allow for work to be done on one one of the two sewers that run along the highway.

Digital message signs will inform commuters of the work and will advise motorists to merge to the right. The southbound to westbound on-ramp from Champlain Street southbound to Highway 174 will also be closed.

The lane reduction is in place to allow crews to reline the sewers which were identified for accelerated lining following the storm sewer failure that resulted in the creation of the sink hole and subsequent closure of the eastbound lanes for one week. Motorists are advised to expect delays and to adjust their travel time accordingly.
