A water main break near the Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montreal has closed down several streets and flooded basements of homes in the area, says the mayor.

As a result, the city has put a boil water advisory in place for three boroughs: Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles, and the related municipality of Montréal-Est.
