A huge pothole that could accommodate a person was reported on De Lorimier Avenue near the Jacques‑Cartier Bridge in January 2026. The City of Montreal recorded more than 4,200 pothole complaints that month, setting a new municipal record.
The size of the hole has drawn attention from drivers navigating the area and highlights the city’s recurring winter‑time road deterioration. Montreal routinely confronts severe pothole problems each winter, with the previous season also reaching a record level of complaints.
