A section of Highway 25 northbound was closed for five hours on Sunday morning, at the exit of the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine bridge-tunnel in Montreal due to a diesel spill.
Transports Québec reported that a truck broke down at the location shortly after 7 a.m. and leaked diesel fuel, prompting the closure of the highway section between Notre-Dame Street and Hochelaga Street.
Transports Québec says the road was reopened to traffic around noon.
The incident caused significant traffic delays throughout the morning, extending as far as Route 132 on the South Shore.
