Winter Montreal cycling route

winter cycling route

To welcome cyclists all year round, the Société du parc Jean-Drapeau will be providing a winter Montreal cycling route between the Jacques-Cartier and Concorde Bridges. The winter bike trail, which will cross île Sainte-Hélène by going through a combination of multi-purpose and vehicular roadways, will have snow removal on a regular basis so cyclists can enjoy safe travels all winter long. Blue signs with snowflakes will inform cyclists of the route to use.

Please note the biking overpass that uses the Saint Lambert locks is closed during the winter months. Cyclists coming from Saint Lambert who want to cross over toward Montréal can use the multi-purpose pathways of the Jacques-Cartier and Samuel-de-Champlain Bridges.
