Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is alerting drivers of an alteration in this weekend’s construction temporarily shutting down Niagara-bound lanes at the Burlington Skyway Bridge.

In a release, the province said the ongoing bridge construction will be happening a day later, on July 22, starting with a single-lane closure Saturday at 8:30 a.m.

Niagara-bound lanes will then fully close between 10 p.m. and Sunday at 11:30 a.m.

The project will return to Friday shutdowns on July 28, with single-lane closures in the morning and full closures Friday nights into Saturday mornings.

Prior to the bridge construction, the MTO warned travellers in an outline that some of the Friday-Saturday closures on occasion would be pushed to Saturday-Sunday instead, particularly during inclement weather.

Transportation operations director Carolyn Ryall says the closures are expected to predominantly happen overnight “in the near future.”

“At this time, no date has been set, but the city will be notifying the public well in advance once the date has been selected,” Ryall said.

“It will not be happening in the remaining days of July.”
