BURLINGTON, ON
For the past month we have received notices from the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) on when the QEW Burlington Skyway Bridge would be open and when it would not be open.
Far too often the information provided was confusing – nevertheless sent out and all too often revised.
Telephone calls for clarification were responded to a day or two later – even though the telephone number provided was labelled “for media”.
We eventually gave up – we found there was a voice at MTO but nothing behind it.
Bridge open this weekend
At no time did MTO ever explain why the lanes were closed – it appeared to have something to do with expansion joints.
The latest, and we pass this along to you with some trepidation – is that:
There will not be a closure of Niagara-bound traffic lanes on the QEW Burlington Skyway this weekend.
The QEW Burlington Skyway will remain open during this Thanksgiving long weekend.
