Ramp For Mercier Bridge Closed For Bridge Repairs

Deck replacement on the Jacques Cartier Bridge in Montreal cost $120 million and was completed in 2003. A similar procedure will be used to repair the Mercier Bridge starting next spring.

From CTV:

One of the access ramps to the Mercier Bridge was closed Monday morning in preparation for re-decking of the bridge.

The ramp coming from Highway 138 heading towards Montreal from the south shore town of Chateauguay was closed.

The actual re-decking is slated to start in three weeks.

The whole project should take two or three years to complete, say officials.
