City closes Low Level Bridge and surrounding roads starting Thursday

Starting Thursday crews will work to remove and restore sections of the temporary paved detour in the Low Level Bridge area including portions of Connors Road, Scona Road, Grierson Hill, and McDougall Hill Road.

Drivers can expect delays and the following traffic impacts:

• Thursday, July 16, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.: Single-lane closures on Connors Road, Scona Road and the northbound and southbound Low Level Bridges.
• Friday, July 17, 8 p.m. to Monday, July 20, 6 a.m.: Temporary full closures of the northbound and southbound Low Level Bridges, including the portions of Connors Road and Scona Road approaching the bridges.
• Lane closures for approach roadways, including portions of 98 Avenue, the Grierson Hill access ramp and the cloverleaf connections between Grierson Hill and McDougall Hill Road.
• The recommended detour for commuters using either Low Level Bridge northbound or southbound is the James Macdonald Bridge.

Lane reductions and closures will occur during off-peak hours and will be removed during peak travel hours when possible.

Construction is to wrap up on July 20, weather depending.

Rehabilitation work on the southbound Low Level Bridge was completed in 2025. Work on the northbound bridge is expected to start early next year.
