The federal government is alerting drivers about a daytime closure of the Burlington Canal Lift Bridge on Thursday due to maintenance work.

Between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., all lanes will be closed to vehicle traffic in both directions.

Pedestrian and marine traffic will not be affected but Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) urge caution for those who expect to use the thoroughfare on Nov. 11.

The federal agency says bridge closures will be off and on until Nov. 15 when repair work that started in late October is expected to finish.
