Alternating lane closures on Burlington Canal Lift Bridge until 2024

The federal government is alerting drivers about alternating lane closures on the Burlington Canal Lift Bridge that will last almost seven months.

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) says the structure will be undergoing major rehabilitation work starting July 6, which will continue until mid-January next year.

“During this period, 3 lanes will be closed and 1 lane will remain open for alternating traffic, with signalers or traffic lights. Motorists should expect delays,” the agency said in a release.

Pedestrian, marine and bicycle traffic will not be affected but PSPC does urge caution for those who expect to use the thoroughfare.
