Montreal police have taken over an investigation into a building fire that has forced the complete closure of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, a major span to the city’s South Shore.
A vacant industrial building on the Montreal side of the bridge caught fire Tuesday, with firefighters called to the scene around 11:30 p.m. at the intersection of De Lorimier Avenue and Logan Street. The fire started on the first floor of the three-storey building and spread to the upper floors.
