Quebec’s Transport Ministry confirmed the Victoria Bridge, which was shut down around 11:30 a.m., reopened about three hours later.
CN Rail, which owns and operates the span over the St. Lawrence River, apologized earlier in the day to drivers for any inconvenience.

“This closure does not affect the movement of trains or boats,” Mathieu Gaudreault said.
