Champlain Bridge work postponed

Major construction work scheduled for Montreal's Champlain Bridge over the weekend has been postponed again because of bad weather.

It's the second time this summer that weekend repairs have been pushed back because of forecasted rain.

The bridge corporation that oversees the Champlain said scheduled repairs would be done on the weekend of August 19 instead.

A section of the Bonaventure Highway south, at Pierre-Dupuy Avenue will be closed over the weekend from 11 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.

A detour is available at exit 2.
