Overpass

An update on the Lakeshore Drive Overpass Deck Replacement And Substructure Rehabilitation project.

There’s a bit of a change to the project with only work on the underside of the bridge to take place this year.

It’s expected to start in early June.

The city says the contractor will be required to generally maintain four lanes of traffic, although some lanes may be temporarily reduced for short periods of time.

Surface work, including the deck replacement will now take place in 2017.

Half the bridge will be closed off during that phase with two lanes of traffic, one in each direction and one sidewalk remaining open at all times.

The contract award recommendation is anticipated to be presented to Council on Monday, May 16th.
