The City of Montreal has launched an online map of construction work that can alert Montrealers to potential traffic obstacles as well as keep a live log of projects in progress.

Located on the City of Montreal website, the construction map is accompanied by a list of projects broken down by borough.

“We want you to know what is happening in front of your home, who is doing the work, for how long and what the impacts will be. The platform also allows you to better plan your trips and avoid unpleasant surprises. We are putting this platform online in a desire for transparency, but also to make the clients who lead the projects more accountable.”
