Police will also be on hand to help accommodate traffic, the city said in the post.

Cranes will be set up on the bridge, along with platforms to accommodate the over 100 people expected to work at the site, the city said.

Reduced speed limits, intermittent lane and ramp closures and detours along Crowchild will continue as well as on Bow Trail and Memorial Drive.
