Montreal's Mercier Bridge fully reopens after beam crack repair

Radio-Canada reports that all lanes of Montreal's Honoré-Mercier Bridge are open again after repairs to a cracked beam were completed. The bridge had faced lane restrictions since the crack was found.
Why it matters
The Honoré-Mercier Bridge linking Montreal to the South Shore has fully reopened. Radio-Canada reports that Quebec's transport ministry announced the completion of repairs to a cracked beam, and all traffic lanes are now open again, ending the lane restrictions imposed when the crack was found.
Background
In mid-October, inspectors found a crack on one of the bridge's beams, prompting the ministry to close lanes for emergency repairs, disrupting commutes between Montreal and the South Shore. With the repair work complete, the ministry confirmed normal traffic has resumed on all lanes.
