The significant amounts of rain brought by the remains of the hurricane Debby Internal flooding has caused water to accumulate on the road network, particularly in the Lanaudière region. This is why the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility is asking the population to avoid traveling there unless it is essential.

Other roads also remain closed in several regions of Quebec, notably Mauricie and Montreal where the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel is closed in both directions.

Gusts of 70 km/h were also recorded on Friday evening.
