A temporary closure of Cedar Avenue will begin on Friday, July 11 at 5 p.m. in order to install two new transformers at the Montreal General Hospital (MGH).

On Saturday, July 12 at 7 a.m. Cedar Avenue will be closed completely between the Livingston and Cedar entrances of the MGH.

Local traffic will be diverted into the MGH Cedar Avenue drive thru in order to bypass the street closure.

Access to Montreal General Hospital:

Some parking spaces will be closed in the MGH Cedar Avenue drive thru. A valet will be on site to redirect patients to alternative spaces nearby.

All hospital entrances will remain open.

A secured sidewalk will be maintained. 

Patients, visitors and staff of the MGH are encouraged to use the Des Pins/Côte-des-Neiges entrance and parking access.

 

Signage and signalmen will be on site to direct traffic.


Alternate route (for local residents, Shriners Hospital and MGH visitors): 

Signalmen will facilitate Cedar avenue residents’ access to their premises throughout the temporary closure.  Similarly, access to the Shriners Hospital from Des Pins will be facilitated.  In all circumstances, emergency vehicles will be able to pass through the affected area.
