Mercier Bridge traffic notes - two works today
06/03/2011
The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke would like to remind road users of upcoming works planned on the Mercier Bridge. Please note the two works planned to begin today.
� Friday, June 3rd at 9:30am: The contractor will be concreting the expansion joints on the Route 132 up ramp (from La Prairie). In order to complete the work a complete closure of the up ramp is necessary from 9:30am on Friday until 5am on Saturday, June 4th.
Traffic will be detoured via Route 138 west to Route 207 and back onto Route 138 East to approach the bridge (see map below). Flagmen will be in place at the intersection of Route 207 to ensure fluidity of the traffic.

The counter-flow traffic will stay in place until Saturday, June 4th at 10am.
