Water main break shuts down boulevard in Longueuil, Que., unclear when it reopens
Social Sharing Police on Montreal's South Shore say a major watermain break has forced the closure of Jacques-Cartier Boulevard East in Longueuil for an "indefinite period." In a message posted to Facebook just before 5 a.m., police say the boulevard is closed for what is about a 400-metre stretch between du Tremblay Road and Jean-Paul-Vincent Boulevard. It's unclear how much damage this break has caused. The perimeter would also prevent people in that area from accessing Curé-Poirier Boulevard East.
