QEW Niagara Bound Lanes Closure on Burlington Bay Skyway Bridge

The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) has announced that it will be performing rehabilitation work on the QEW Niagara Bound lanes of the Burlington Bay Skyway bridge. The work is scheduled to take place from Friday August 22 night until Monday August 25 morning.

During this period, two lanes out of four existing lanes on the QEW Niagara Bound will be closed. This closure will affect the Eastbound lanes of the QEW and is expected to result in traffic delays throughout the weekend.

The work will be performed on the bridge deck of the Burlington Bay Skyway bridge. Advance signing and notification will be provided to motorists, allowing them to plan an alternate route if necessary. The MTO encourages motorists to check traffic conditions before traveling, and updates on work and traffic impacts can be found on @511Ontario or by visiting http://511on.ca/.

The closure is weather dependent, and the MTO will monitor the weather conditions closely. If necessary, the work may be rescheduled to a later date.

Traffic delays may affect travel plans on the QEW Niagara Bound lanes of the Burlington Bay Skyway bridge, so it is important for motorists to plan accordingly. The MTO apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and thanks motorists for their patience and understanding.

The MTO is committed to maintaining the safety and efficiency of Ontario's transportation network, and this work is part of its ongoing efforts to ensure that the QEW Niagara Bound lanes of the Burlington Bay Skyway bridge remain in good condition for many years to come.
