LONGUEUIL, QC, Aug. 27, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated (JCCBI) would like to advise road users that weekend work will take place on the Jacques Cartier Bridge during the next three weekends in order to complete the paving of the bridge approaches.
Traffic will be heavier during weekends 2 and 3, as two lanes out of five will be closed for part of the weekends and several access and exit ramps on the South Shore side will be completely closed during the day and the night.
Road users are encouraged to avoid the Jacques Cartier Bridge and instead use the Champlain or Victoria Bridges during this period and favour the metro's yellow line as well as the bus to travel.
Here is the lane configuration during the work:
WEEKEND 1 - August 31 and September 2 & 1st
Friday, August 30, at 11 p.m., to Saturday, August 31, at 8 a.m.
- Two lanes in five closed; two lanes open towards Montreal and one lane open towards the South Shore.
- No access or exit ramps closed.
Saturday, August 31, at 8 a.m., to Tuesday, September 3, at 5 a.m.
- One lane in five closed; two lanes open per direction.
- No access or exit ramps closed.
WEEKEND 2 - September 7 & 8
Friday, September 6, at 11 p.m., to Saturday, September 7, at 9 a.m.
- Three lanes in five closed; one lane open towards Montreal and one lane open towards the South Shore.
Saturday, September 7, at 9 a.m., to Sunday, September 8, at 9 a.m.
- Two lanes in five closed; two lanes open towards Montreal and one lane open towards the South Shore.
Sunday, September 8, at 9 a.m., to Monday, September 9, at 5 a.m.

WEEKEND 3 - September 14 & 15

Sunday, September 15, at 9 a.m., to Monday, September 16, at 5 a.m.
- One lane in five closed; two lanes open per direction.
The exit and access ramps on the Jacques Cartier Bridge on the South Shore side will be occasionally closed at night and during the day during weekends 2 and 3.
Road users will be invited to use detours set up. Traffic may be particularly difficult to access the bridge from the South Shore during these weekends.
This work combined with work carried out last year will result in the paving of the entire Jacques Cartier Bridge, including its approaches.
It is very important to note that this work is subject to weather conditions and may be postponed until another weekend in the event of adverse weather.
