(Graham Hughes/The Canadian Press)All lanes across the Honoré-Mercier Bridge are now open after crews repaired a cracked steel beam over the weekend, Quebec's Transport Ministry announced Sunday evening. The crack closed a Montreal-bound lane last Tuesday, which caused long backlogs on many spans into the city during rush hour. It had been discovered during maintenance work. It also prompted local leaders on the South Shore to renew their call for better transportation options and even a new bridge.
