After repeated weather-related postponements, all Niagara-bound lanes on the Burlington Skyway Bridge will be closed Friday night, Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation says.
Rehabilitation work was postponed last week and again last night due to weather.
Now, all lanes will be closed from 10 p.m. tonight to 6 a.m. Saturday.
Then, for three nights in a row starting April 19, two lanes on the bridge and north of it will be closed from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The Ministry of Transportation says these closures are weather dependent and signs will warn drivers. An alternate route through the QEW Niagara‑bound collectors to Eastport Drive will remain open.
As of Friday afternoon, Environment Canada forecasts rain in Burlington, Ont., on Saturday and a 40 per cent chance of rain Sunday.
