YUL issues warning as drop-off area closed at certain times this week—here’s when

Montreal's Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport has issued a warning to travellers this week.

Dismantling work of the multi-level parking is causing closures on the road network leading to the terminal.

The arrivals drop-off area will be closed during certain times, and traffic will be redirected to the departures drop-off area.

While ongoing demolition work on the airport’s multi-level parking structure is behind this week’s closures—and it’s far from the first disruption. 

Travellers were already warned during March Break to brace for a busy spring season amid major construction. 

Traffic around Montreal’s airport has been a growing source of frustration in recent years as it undergoes a sweeping $10-billion transformation over the next decade.
