Motorists using Knight Street Bridge will have to take into account overnight single-lane closures from now until late fall this year.
The closures will take place in both directions on weekdays from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. and from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. on weekends and holidays. Commercial vehicles will also have a width restriction of 3.8 metres.
The closures are to allow crews to mill and repave the 49-year-old bridge’s concrete deck to prevent future corrosion, and are a part of TransLink’s Maintenance and Upgrade program.
The program also entails replacing the bridge’s bearings, which will take place primarily during the day and is expected to be completed by late summer.
The railing separating vehicle lanes from the sidewalk will also be replaced through fall, and cyclists and pedestrians will be detoured to the other side of the bridge.
