The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke has been informed by the Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated and the Ministère des Transports that the La Prairie ramp of the Mercier Bridge will be completely closed tonight - Wednesday, July 6th from 8 pm until 5am (Thursday).

Traffic will be detoured via Route 138 west to Route 207 and back onto Route 138 east for drivers heading toward La Prairie and vice-versa for Montreal-bound drivers coming from La Prairie (see map).



The work is required to change the configuration of the work site in order for the central median to be repaired.
