Monday is tunnel horror day
As everyone knew would happen, things are slow and tight getting through the tunnel Monday morning.
TVA has a chopper in the air and La Presse has live coverage.
La Presse also talks to some commuters.
The Journal has drawings of the work to be done which give a pretty good visual explanation of the project. Essentially they’re rebuilding the tunnel while keeping it open.
Paul Journet echoes François Cardinal in telling us politicians have been inept in preparing for the situation.

Not that bad honestly.
Just had a meeting with many of our transporters. It’s basically fine right now. Seems to be everyone was sufficiently terrified and volume is way down.
Now to see how it balances out day to day.

I live around the 25 South, right between the Beaubien and Sherbrooke exits. I pass by (on the service road) pretty much every weekday, after dropping off my kids at school. Mondays and Fridays have been quieter lately. I chalk that up to people working from home more on Mondays and Fridays (there’s even a name for them: https://metro.co.uk/2021/10/05/theres-a-name-for-people-who-work-tuesday-wednesday-and-thursdays-15369656/). But today was especially calm. I think people avoided it, like Faiz said. We’ll see how it goes when the TWaTs are back tomorrow.
