Lane closure on Mercier Bridge
01/10/2011
The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke would like to inform road users that the Minist�re de Transport du Qu�bec (MTQ) will conduct inspection work on the Mercier Bridge from Tuesday, January 11th to Wednesday, January 12th between 7am and 3pm. During this period, one of two Kahnaw�:ke-bound lanes will be closed.
The MTQ also wishes to remind motorists of the Kahnaw�:ke-bound bridge restrictions implemented on December 29th: all trucks are forbidden on both lanes of the bridge in the south shore direction and the speed limit is reduced to 50km/h for all vehicles. This decision was taken because of the installation of Jersey cement barriers to ensure the protection of the bridge�s guardrails.
Access to the bridge is still permitted for buses, emergency vehicles and snow removal vehicles. The two proposed detours for trucks are the Champlain Bridge or the Monseigneur-Langlois Bridge.
Montreal-bound traffic remains normal.
