The illumination of the Jacques Cartier Bridge on May 17, an event Montreal mayor Denis Coderre felt was disrupted by protesting police officers, will be re-staged on June 25 at 10:30 p.m.

The announcement that the interactive light show Connexions Vivantes (Living Connections) would provide an encore performance was confirmed Monday by the Société des célébrations du 375e anniversaire de Montréal and the federal crown corporation that administers the Jacques Cartier Bridge.

The CROP polling firm estimated that 400,000 persons attended the May 17 show, watching it from Old Montreal, the South Shore and the area surrounding the foot of the bridge in Montreal.

However that audience also included thousands of Montreal police officers protesting their stalled contract negotiations, the noise from which drowned out the soundtrack for the event provided by the Montreal Metropolitan Orchestra and other musical guests.

The day after, Coderre apologized to Montrealers who attended the event and eventually promised a second show.
