A massive water main break shut down a section of de Lorimier Ave. and Rachel early this morning.
Police have closed de Lormier between Sherbrooke and Rachel so that city crews can fix the problem. The water was shut off to stop the gushing and further development of a mini-lake in that area. Rachel was also reopened to traffic a bit before 8am.
