BRIDGE REPAIRS

Motorists and bus passengers who rely on city transit to get around town should be advised that Ferry Avenue will be closed on Saturday to allow for overhead construction on the Simon Fraser Bridge.

Ruskin Construction, the general contractor on the project to repair the bridge at Highway 97 where it crosses the Fraser River, has issued a notice to inform the public the closure will be in effect starting at 5:30 a.m. on March 25 and will last for 24 hours.

Two city bus routes, No. 46 and No. 47, will be rerouted to avoid the closure. Ruskin has submitted the pending closure proposals, subject to review by the City of Prince George, PG Transit and BC Transit.

Signage and traffic control devices will be in place to warn drivers of the closure.
