This release was issued under a previous government.

The traffic shift and closure of the Grant MacEwan Bridge allows the bridge’s rebuild to begin. The bridge will be lowered and its superstructure will be replaced. The rebuilt bridge will open to traffic in the summer of 2014.

Motorists should use caution in these areas and obey all signs and message boards. Motorists are reminded that fines for speeding are doubled through construction zones when workers are present.
