Major closures are coming to the Turcot Interchange in November, as an elevated section of the cement behemoth is coming down.

Sections of highways 15 and 20 and the new Route 136 will be closed over Remembrance Day weekend — at various times between Nov. 8 and 13 — as a stretch of Highway 15 North is dismantled.

The section that's coming down is already no longer in use, the Quebec Transport Ministry said in a briefing to reporters today.
