Lanes have reopened on the Jacques-Cartier Bridge Friday afternoon after they were shut for a police operation.

Quebec provincial police (SQ) say the operation has ended and that bridge traffic is slowly returning to normal. No one was injured during the operation, they said.

After a brief complete closure of the bridge, which links Montreal to the South Shore, one lane heading south reopened just after 1 p.m., with two northbound lanes into Montreal also open. The pedestrian and cyclist multipath was also closed. The partial closure remained that way for nearly two hours Friday afternoon.

At 2:40 p.m., the SQ tweeted that the operation was over.
 



The Pont Jacques-Cartier Twitter account soon after reported that three lanes are open toward the South Shore, with two lanes still open inbound.
