The Quebec Transport Ministry (MTQ) announced that more trains will run between the Island of Montreal and Vaudreuil-Dorion to alleviate pressure on traffic after another lane was closed on the bridge.

As of Wednesday, the exo train line announced that it would add the following departures to its Vaudreuil/Hudson line 11:
- Train #16: Departure from Vaudreuil at 7:30 a.m. ;
- Train #12: Departs Hudson Station at 6:14 a.m.;
- Train #21: Departs Lucien L'Allier station at 4:40 p.m., terminating at Hudson station.
The MTQ adds that commuters should try to use public transport when possible.
