She says Quebec provincial police, the fire department, paramedics and representatives from the group managing the bridge were called to the scene.
Two minors were arrested at around 9 a.m. and could face charges.
Last fall a pair of environmental activists made headlines for climbing the bridge and forcing its closure during rush hour in what was described as a protest against fossil fuel extraction.
However, Marquis-Guy says there were no banners on Sunday or any other sign that the climbers were staging a protest.
