Honoré Mercier Bridge - Opening of the exit ramp towards Chateauguay (ramp 3)
to traffic on September 1st

LONGUEUIL, QC, Aug. 30 /CNW Telbec/ - The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated (JCCBI) and the Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) wishes to announce the complete opening of the exit ramp towards Chateauguay (ramp 3) to all traffic on the morning of Wednesday, September 1^st.

The work that began last June 3^rd on ramp 3 was able to be completed in 3 months rather than 4 months, as announced. The contractor, The Mohawk Bridge Consortium (MBC), maintained a good work pace in replacing all 193 prefabricated concrete deck panels of this exit ramp, including those of the new multi-purpose path. This work also included the marking and paving of the ramp. 

The rehabilitation of the ramp 2 (ramp towards La Prairie), the last ramp to fix during this first phase will begin in the coming weeks. The precise start date of this work, and the precise method, will be announced shortly. Recall that this work is part of a first contract (phase A) granted out of two in the context of a comprehensive rehabilitation program of the Honoré Mercier Bridge.
