Denis said the incident took place on the westbound side between Viger Avenue and Saint-Laurent Boulevard.

“One of the signs that indicates which lanes are open was hit by an excavator and landed on the 18-wheeler that stopped right in front of me,” Kassandra Jordan told Global News.

“After about an hour and a half, we were assisted in backing up and turning around in the tunnel, which was down to two lanes because of construction.”
