Overnight lane closures will be in effect on a major Metro Vancouver bridge this week.
The closures will be in place on the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge starting Sunday evening through to Friday morning.
Single lane closures will be in effect between 10 p.m. until 5:30 a.m., with some double lane closures between 11:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m.
One direction will be worked on at a time, while at least one lane will remain open.
“Over these five nights, crews will conduct a routine inspection of the bridge deck. Annual inspections of all ministry structures are required to ensure preventive maintenance is done and to inform future rehabilitation programs,” the Ministry of Transportation said.
“Given the size of the bridge, five nights will be needed for a thorough inspection.”
The ministry says drivers can expect minor delays.
