Quebec's Transport Ministry shut down a major traffic artery in the Montreal area early Saturday morning due to rising water levels. The Galipeault Bridge, which connects Île Perrot and the island of Montreal along Highway 20, is closed in both directions. Motorists can take Highway 40 to the north, through Vaudreuil-Dorion to Highway 30 instead. The tolls on Highway 30 have been cancelled for the time being. The Greater Montreal area is under a rainfall warning, with up to 60 millimetres of rain expected to fall throughout the day.
