The Johnson Street Bridge will remain open on Saturday

Share

According to a City of Victoria advisory this morning, the Johnson Street Bridge deck span installation that was supposed to keep the bridge closed this weekend has been postponed due to high winds.

The “Dynamic Beast” crane barge will have to wait until Sunday at 7 AM to begin its work. So the bridge will be closed to all drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians on Sunday and Monday, from 7 AM to 5 PM. 

Don’t hold your breath…

Although this new timeline is expected to be adhered to, the installation is still subject to changes in weather, since large steel pieces cannot be lifted during high winds.

While the Johnson Street Bridge is closed, all traffic will be directed to the Bay Street bridge, so expect delays.
