The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke wishes to inform road users that the Ministère de Transport du Quebec (MTQ) will shut down the Montreal-bound side of the Mercier Bridge to reconfigure for the direction change at 11:30am today instead of noon as originally scheduled.

The following schedule has been put in place for traffic configuration until further notice:

•    1pm - Midnight: Both lanes in the Kahnawà:ke-bound direction ONLY.
•    Midnight - 1am: Complete stoppage of traffic to reconfigure for direction change.
•    1am – Noon: Both lanes in the Montreal-bound direction ONLY.
•    Noon – 1pm: Complete stoppage of traffic to reconfigure for direction change. 
•    Weekends: From Friday midnight to Sunday midnight one lane in each direction will be available.

This schedule is expected to remain in effect until September but is subject to change as the MTQ studies traffic patterns.

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke will keep the community informed up to the minute as developments occur.
