Hwy 49’s Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge will undergo an extended full closure from Dec. 3 starting at 6 a.m. until 6 a.m. Dec. 5.

This closure was originally scheduled for Nov. 26-28 but was cancelled due to reasons beyond Aecon’s control.

In case of poor weather conditions, the closure may be re‐ scheduled to take place from 6 a.m. on Dec. 10 until 6 a.m. on Dec. 12.

This closure is intended for concrete placement of the closure strip to connect the new decks together prior to final paving. Due to unpredictable temperatures and the high early strength concrete being used for this concrete placement, excessive vibrations need to be reduced until the concrete has reached the required strength for traffic to cross the bridge, which can take up to forty‐eight hours at this time of year.
