Roughly 300 drivers on a stretch of Highway 13 near Montreal's Lachine borough were left stranded overnight. Crews were able to clear Highway 13 on Wednesday morning and get traffic moving again. Speaking in Quebec City, Premier Philippe Couillard admitted the response was "lacking co-ordination." In Quebec City, Champlain Boulevard, a major street that runs along the Saint-Lawrence River, is partially closed to traffic due to flooding. Highways 20 and 138 north of Quebec City were closed to traffic, while Highway 132 in the Gaspé was closed almost the whole way around the peninsula.
