MONTREAL – If you’re planning an off-Island trip this weekend, The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated (JCCBI) suggest you plan ahead.

The Jacques Cartier Bridge will have one lane open in each direction until Monday at 5 a.m. The closure will allow workers to paint the steel under-carriage of the bridge located above the the St-Lawrence Seaway.

Work to install traffic lights on the Champlain Bridge was scheduled to be completed by Saturday morning.
