Bonaventure Expressway reopened after damaged structure removed
Truck hit structure holding up sign on highway earlier this morning, snarling traffic
The Bonaventure Expressway heading into downtown is open to traffic again after a damaged signage panel was removed.
The federal bridge corporation, which oversees the highway, had closed the highway for about 30 minutes beginning at 10 a.m.
Complete reopening Bonaventure Expy at 10:30 a.m. Work completed. Thank you for your patience.
—@pontChampBridgeEarlier this morning, around 7:45 a.m., a truck hit an overhead road sign, prompting the bridge corporation to send a crew to secure it during morning rush hour.
The highway was initially completely closed for a time as the structure was inspected earlier in the morning, snarling morning traffic, then two of three lanes were reopened.
