The City of Victoria has announced that Point Ellice Bridge, also widely referred to as the Bay Street bridge, will be fully closed for overnight work next week.
As the bridge project nears completion, full overnight closures are required to complete final work.
The bridge will be closed to traffic in both directions between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., from Monday, June 8th to Wednesday, June 10th.
Detours will be in effect with signage directing traffic while the bridge is closed.
When not fully closed during the overnight work periods, the bridge will continue to be closed to eastbound traffic for vehicles travelling from Vic West to Rock Bay, though westbound traffic will remain open.
In a previous communication regarding a bridge closure, the City noted that the Point Ellice Bridge Project was 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.
