Atwater Tunnel open in both directions after flooding
The tunnel, which runs beneath the Lachine Canal, began filling up with water late Tuesday morning after a company doing work for Hydro-Québec in the area punctured a 24-inch water main.
Tunnel flooded Tuesday after water main punctured
The Atwater Tunnel is again open in both directions after Tuesday's flooding.
The southbound lanes were freed up to traffic Thursday afternoon, hours after the northbound section.
The tunnel, which runs beneath the Lachine Canal, began filling up with water late Tuesday morning after a company doing work for Hydro-Québec in the area punctured a 24-inch water main.
City spokesperson Philippe Sabourin said engineers have inspected the tunnel and it's "in good shape."
No one was injured in the flooding. The stranded vehicles belong to construction workers who were not in their cars when the flooding began.
