The eastbound lanes and all three Westbound lanes on Highway 20 are open as well.
According to the Quebec Ministry of Transport (MTQ) â Highway 520 westbound at Exit 1-E is expected to remain closed until the end of May as construction is ongoing for the Dorval Interchange redevelopment project.
The MTQ advised that partial night closures are to be expected on Highway 20 in the coming weeks.
This past Monday, two of the three lanes at the Dorval roundabout reopened as well.
Public transport travelers will soon be able to walk through the existing crosswalk under the west bridge.

Official opposition says new by-law needed to protect trees from construction projects
Laval needs a new by-law to protect its trees from damage during major development projects – like the one that saw the creation of new public transit reserved lanes on Avenue des Bois last year, leading to the destruction of nature trails – official opposition leader Michel Trottier argued during the April 13 webcast of Laval’s monthly city council meeting.
Responding to Trottier’s suggestion, Mayor Marc Demers said Laval already has a tree-protection by-law on its books, although “it dates from another era and the sums of money, the penalties are no longer up to our expectations.”
