BURLINGTON, ON

 

Some of that traffic mayhem Toronto is going to experience will work its way to Burlington.

A weekend partial closure is required to complete bridge deck rehabilitation on the Niagara‑bound lanes of the Burlington Bay Skyway.

  • Skyway Bridge: Closure makes travel difficult. Think of the workers who are out in that sweltering heat.

    One middle lane will be closed from Saturday, June 13 from 1:00 a.m. until 5:00 a.m. Monday, June 15

  • The ramp from the Eastport Drive collector lanes to the Burlington Skyway will be closed Saturday, June 13 from 1 a.m. to Sunday, June 14 at 7 a.m. and again Sunday, June 14 at 10 p.m. to Monday, June 15 at 5 a.m., to allow for relocation of temporary barrier walls.
  • During this closure, two through‑lanes will remain open on the QEW and one lane to the Burlington Skyway will be available from the Eastport Drive collector lanes.
  • All ramps at the Northshore Boulevard interchange will remain open.
  • Eastport Drive will remain fully open and can be used as an alternate route to re‑enter the QEW Niagara‑bound.
  • In addition, lane widths will be reduced for the duration of the season. “Narrow lane” signage will be in place.
  • All closures are weather dependant.

It is expected that there may be traffic delays during this closure.

  • Advance signing and notification will be provided to motorists so they can plan an alternate route.
  • Eastport drive will remain fully open to traffic as an alternate route, allowing motorists to rejoin the QEW Niagara-bound.
  • All ramps at Northshore Blvd will remain open during these overnight full closures.

Travellers can visit 511on.ca, @511Ontario, or www.burlingtonskyway.ca for updates on work and traffic impacts.

    The announcement by saying the North Shore Boulevard ramps remain open makes it sound like vehicles are able to access the Skyway Bridge by taking the North Shore Boulevard ramps. That is a wrong impression. If one takes the North Shore Boulevard ramps hoping to access Niagara-bound QEW, one will fnd one is only able to access Eastport Drive and the lift ridge.

    The benefit of closing the Eastport Drive on ramps Is that bwcomes pointless for vehicles to try to access the QEW through the downtown.
