A major link between Montreal and the city’s south shore has reopened Thursday afternoon after it was closed for an emergency inspection.
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.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the company said the roadway span was temporarily closed to allow work crews to carry out a more “detailed follow-up inspection” following a routine examination earlier in the day.
“This closure does not affect the movement of trains or boats,” Mathieu Gaudreault said.
