Full closure of the west bound lanes will take place every Friday night in July
The Burlington Skyway starts a significant construction closure that will impact commuters this evening.
Niagara-Westbound lanes at the bridge will close every Friday in July (7, 14, 21, and 28) at 6:30 p.m. with a full closure by 8 p.m.
All lanes will re-open by 9:30 a.m. on Saturdays.
The Ministry of Transportation says inclement weather may delay or postpone some of the work causing a rescheduling that could happen Saturday nights with Sunday morning re-openings by 9:30 a.m.
Ministry officials say the work involves removing and replacing the bridge's expansion joints, which are critical as they ensure the continuity of the road surface and the load-bearing capacity and movement.
