There was an unusual accumulation of water inside the northbound Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine Bridge–Tunnel, from the South Shore to Montreal, on Wednesday morning. “There was no closure. Vehicles could circulate in the tunnel,” said Sarah Bensadoun, a spokesperson with Quebec’s Transport Ministry (MTQ), noting that there were some slowdowns. “There was no security danger.” She explained that the situation was caused by a breakage in a pump, which forced water into the tunnel. The MTQ could not confirm how much water had spilled inside the tunnel. Bensadoun noted that the rupture has already been repaired.
