More construction planned on Mercier Bridge

MONTREAL – It looks like there may be more construction ahead on the Mercier Bridge.

Municipal Affairs Minister Pierre Moreau told reporters Monday that he’s waiting for a detailed structural analysis of the Mercier Bridge before deciding whether its provincial side needs more work – and of what amplitude.

“A decision will be made to make sure that this bridge remains a very important link between the South Shore and Montreal,” he said.

The full report will be completed this fall and it will pave the way for preventive work on the bridge in the not-so-distant future.
