Complete closure Montreal-bound Mercier Bridge this weekend

11/24/2014

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) has been informed by Ministère des Transport du Quebec that both Montreal-bound lanes of the Mercier Bridge will be completely closed to traffic from Friday, November 28th at 11:59pm until Saturday, November 29th at 9pm.

The closure is necessary due to the reconstruction of the Monette overpass on the LaSalle side of the bridge. Road users are encouraged to use the Champlain or Jacques Cartier Bridges to gain access to the island of Montreal.

Both Kahnawà:ke-bound lanes will remain open.

Please note that the left lane of the Montreal-bound Bridge continues to be narrowed to 3.15 metres in the work area of the Monette overpass until the reconstruction is completed. Trucks are prohibited from using the left lane on the Montreal-bound bridge.

The MCK reminds the public that works/closures on the Mercier Bridge are subject to change due to weather conditions, operational constraints or work progression, and that it does not take part in the scheduling or cancellation of such works.
