Users of the Greene Ave. entrance to the eastbound Ville-Marie expressway will have to find an alternate route — permanently — as of Aug. 20.

The ramp will be closed, then demolished as part of preparatory work for Route 136, which is what Highway 720 will eventually be renamed.

The entrance will be demolished over Labour Day weekend starting Sept. 4.

The work will require the temporary closure of a section of Greene Ave. as well as the permanent closure of Selby St.

Users of the Greene Ave. entrance can follow a detour that will bring them to the next entrance, at de la Cathédrale St. and Notre-Dame St. W.

Greene Ave. will be reconfigured to allow for traffic flow between St-Antoine St. and Dorchester Blvd. during the Ville-Marie work, with the new configuration going into effect Sept. 4.

From Aug. 20 to Aug. 25, Greene will be closed in both directions between St-Antoine St. and Dorchester Blvd., with motorists being detoured to Atwater.

Traffic for local residents will be maintained on Greene north until the alley that leads to Brooke Ave. and southbound until Prospect St.

From Aug. 26 to Sept. 3, Greene will be reopened for motorists heading north, but will remain closed for southbound traffic.
