The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) has been informed by the Jacques Cartier & Champlain Bridges Incorporated that major closures are planned on the  Mercier Bridge over the long Easter weekend.

The following is summary of the closures:

Phase 1: Full closure Kahnawà:ke-bound (including both down ramps)
From Thursday April 2nd at 10pm to Saturday April 4th at 2am
No contraflow traffic, detour by Champlain or Jacques Cartier Bridges

Phase 2: Full closure of Montreal-bound (including both up ramps)
From Saturday April 4th at 2am to Sunday April 5th at 6am
No contraflow traffic, detour by Champlain or Jacques Cartier Bridges

Phase 3: Closure of the left lane in both directions (including 132 up & down ramps) From Sunday April 5th at 6am to Tuesday, April 7th at 5am

The Airlie entrance ramp and the priority bus lane to the Kahnawake-bound Bridge will also be closed. These closures will allow work on the steel structure of the Seaway section in preparation for the rehabilitation of the concrete deck next year.

Also note, the Ministère des Transport du Quebec will close the right lane of the Kahnawà:ke-bound over the St. Lawrence River from Thursday April 2nd at 10pm to Sunday April 5th at 6am.

The MCK reminds the public that works/closures on the Mercier Bridge are subject to change due to weather conditions, operational constraints or work progression, and that it does not take part in the scheduling or cancellation of such works.
