MONTREAL – South shore commuters are in for another series of detours as the second work blitz on the Champlain Bridge starts this weekend.
The southbound lanes will be closed from Friday at 10 p.m. to Monday at 5 a.m.
Workers will connect the new Île des Sœurs Bypass Bridge to the current Champlain Bridge corridor towards the South Shore.
They will also complete the replacement of eight expansion joints on the Champlain Bridge’s deck.
