The City of Victoria has announced that the Point Ellice Bridge, also widely referred to as the Bay Street bridge, will be closed in both directions for some overnight work for one evening this week.
On Thursday, April 16th, between 9 p.m. and midnight, the bridge will be closed in both directions.
This closure is taking place so that crews can switch the traffic configuration safely as construction continues.
Following this brief full-closure, the bridge will continue to be closed to eastbound traffic for vehicles travelling from Vic West to Rock Bay, while westbound traffic will remain open.
The City also provided an update on the progress of the project, saying the work is currently on schedule and expected to be completed in mid-June.
The scope of this project will see a replacement of the main deck joint that allows the bridge to expand and shrink with temperature changes.
Additionally, crews will be making improvements to the 65-year-old drainage system that runs under the bridge.
