What to Expect During Your Commute

Traffic drops to one lane in each direction starting at 3:00 p.m. Crews use this time to prepare the site for the main work. Later in the evening, contractors shut down the bridge completely. Two separate full closures take place between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Each full closure lasts approximately 20 minutes. The province is also restricting traffic to one lane on the bridge approaches.

Reason for the Disruption

Workers perform jacking operations on the bridge structure. This maintenance requires the bridge to be entirely free of traffic for the safety of the workers and the public. You will face delays. Plan an alternate route or adjust your travel time to avoid sitting in stopped traffic.
