Partial lane closures on Mercier Bridge tonight

07/11/2013

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) wishes to inform road-users that the Jacques Cartier & Champlain Bridges Incorporated is planning partial closures on the Mercier Bridge tonight between 8pm until 5am tomorrow to install steel plates.

During this time, there will be partial left lane closures in each direction on the Bridge. There will also be a full closure of the Route 132 up-ramp from the La Prairie direction. A detour will guide motorists to Route 207 and back onto Route 138 east to access the bridge.

As previously announced, night closures (8pm to 5am) will continue next week to prepare for a major month-long Work BLITZ which will take place from July 13th to August 11th.

This Blitz will have a very significant impact on traffic and all road-users are encouraged to opt for alternate links to the island of Montreal, such as the Champlain and Victoria Bridges or the new AutoRoute 30 for those heading west. Other suggestions include a different means of transportation such as carpooling or public transit (bus and train),

The MCK wishes to remind the public that works/closures on the Mercier Bridge are subject to change due to weather conditions, operational constraints or work progression, and that it does not take part in the scheduling or cancellation of such works.
