If you were planning to drive across the Red Bridge on Monday, it’s time to find another route.
Beginning Sept. 15 and continuing for about a month, the span between the city and the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve will be closed to vehicles as the province performs repairs and maintenance.
In a press release, the provincial Ministry of Transportation said it wants to have the work completed before the city embarks on its approximately $9-million rehabilitation of Overlanders Bridge, set to begin in 2015.
The Red Bridge will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists, but the ministry said there will likely be some daytime delays on the bridge’s sidewalks as well.
Cars will be allowed back on the crossing some time in mid-October.
