The City of Winnipeg is cautioning motorists that even bigger disruptions are coming to a busy Winnipeg bridge that has already seen significant closures and delays for road work.

The City sent out a release late last week, saying that "Extensive lane closures in place on the St. James Bridge will be expanded in the coming weeks to accommodate increasing maintenance work."

The work will increase safety and "ride quality," the City says in the release. Crews will be repairing the bridge deck, traffic barriers, and approach roadways.

Increased traffic delays are expected for the duration of the work. Motorists are advised to plan their trips accordingly and consider using alternate routes to reach their destinations.

Construction personnel are working in close proximity to traffic while undertaking these maintenance activities. Motorists are reminded to slow down and exercise caution so that crews can do their jobs safely.

We appreciate motorists’ patience and understanding while this important bridge maintenance work is being undertaken.

Transit will be rerouted during the closures. Follow @TransitAlerts on Twitter for details and updates.
