Traffic alert: Lane closures on
Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge start Monday
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. and Ontario – Motorists should expect lane closures beginning the morning of Monday, July 18, on the Canadian side of the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge.
A 500-yard segment of the U.S.-bound lane on the north end of the bridge will be closed around 7 a.m. for painting crews. One lane of alternating traffic will be maintained at all times. Traffic will be routed through the work zone by automated signals from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and by traffic controllers during the day.
The closures are required for the ongoing $3 million (Canadian) painting project on the span. Painting operations will be conducted at various locations around the Canadian side of the bridge using moveable scaffolding.
The International Bridge Administration (IBA) advises motorists to expect delays. Remain alert for workers and use caution when traveling through the work zone.
The project is expected to be complete by Nov. 1.
