MONTREAL Those commuters on either side of the Ile-aux-Tourtes Bridge got some welcome news Thursday when they learned a lane will be reopened in each direction on the heavily trafficked bridge. Minister of Transport Francois Bonnardel and Minister Responsible for the Montreal region Chantal Rouleau announced that as of 5 a.m. Friday, one lane will be safe to drive in each direction. The work done in the last few days allows for a safe partial reopening for all types of vehicles, read a news release from the transport ministry. The MTQ is still advising road users to avoid the area if possible as significant traffic congestion is expected particularly during morning and evening rush hours.
