Complete closure of the Mercier Bridge Friday night

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke has been informed that the Ministère des Transports will proceed with the complete closure of the Mercier Bridge from Friday, July 22nd at 10pm until Saturday, July 23rd at noon.

The closure is required for the installation of bollards which will facilitate traffic circulation management. Other works will also be performed during the closure, including cleaning work, the general inspection of the downstream structure and the drilling of the downstream structure of the Monette Bridge located in LaSalle.

The Ministère des Transports is aware of the constraints that this closure may cause and is doing everything possible to mitigate the impacts on traffic.
