Canada Global(Web News) Traffic in downtown Montreal was snarled Tuesday morning as some crumbling infrastructure closed the road for emergency repairs.
Crews began working to gain access to the ruptured sewer line. The full extent of the damage to the infrastructure, which dates back to 1885, is not yet known,
city officials said . “Actually, we’re pretty confident that our technique will work,” Sabourin said. We will be working inside the gutter to repair the collapsed wall. If it doesn’t work, we are expecting to need weeks to complete the operation. Unannounced road closures during rush hours cause headaches for drivers. St Matthew’s and Bishop Street avenues have been built to provide access to the north and south sides of the city. Excavation is expected to begin later this week.
