Traffic delays of 15-20 minutes can also be anticipated on Thursday morning.

The public can expect a series of intermittent closures in preparation for the start of the navigation season on May 17. These closures will facilitate the installation of vertical end lifts, which will ensure the bridge seals tightly to the abutments during normal swing operations.

“We thank the community for their patience and understanding throughout the construction period. We remain committed to minimizing disruptions while ensuring the safety and functionality of this vital transportation link,” according to a press release statement.
