Los Angeles avoided Carmageddon, the mother of all traffic jams expected when a 16-kilometre stretch of Interstate 405 (one of the busiest highways in the U.S.) was closed on the weekend.
Will Montreal survive the “Detour de l’Île,” the name suggested by one responder to The Gazette’s Metropolitan News poll of what Montreal’s summer of traffic turmoil should be dubbed.
Unlike L.A., where traffic anguish never materialized and the bridge demolition behind the closure was actually completed ahead of schedule, there’s no end in sight for Montreal’s traffic headaches.
The Met News unscientific poll asked readers: What should the slogan be for Montreal’s summer of roadwork hell?
Here are the poll results as of 3:15 p.m. Monday:
- Carmageddon
- Mission Impassable
- Carpocolypse
- Ay Caramba
- Others...
Some of the suggestions from readers:
- Detour de l’ Île
- Coney Island
- CarRuption
- One city, one bridge
- Cartastrophe
- Carcophany
