Drivers should prepare for temporary closures on the Harbour Bridge that will be happening next week after Labour Day.

The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure says the bridge will be fully closed for about 20 minutes on Tuesday and Wednesday between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The city says crews will be performing jacking operations during that time.

Additional lane restrictions are scheduled for Thursday and again on September 11 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., westbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane.

Traffic will be directed by flaggers and an escort vehicle during the lane reduction.

Motorists are advised to expect delays and plan alternate routes where possible.
