The Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing will be subject to nightly lane closures over five nights in the coming week.
Between 10 p.m. on Sunday Aug. 25 and 5:30 a.m. on Thursday Aug. 29, crews will be doing their regular inspection of the bridge deck, requiring at least one lane, and sometimes two, to be closed.
“Annual inspections of all ministry structures are required to ensure preventive maintenance is done and to inform future rehabilitation programs,” a notice from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure stated on Friday. “Given the size of the bridge, five nights will be needed for a thorough inspection. Drivers can expect minor delays and are asked to use caution through the work zone.”
In 2022, a pothole in one of the southbound lanes of the bridge led to utter traffic chaos for days as crews had to make significant repairs.
