Roadwork

This time of year, driving through Montreal is a series of detours as the warm months provide time for badly needed repairs to the infrastructure. Here old water pipes are being replaced. Several years ago the city lost over 40% of its treated water to leaks. We are now down as the city s l o w l y replaces the aged pipes. Streets have to be dug up and the work takes a long time. No left turn here!
