About 50 West-siders and others turned out for the public meeting on construction on the Harbour Bridge. 35 million dollars in repairs are underway and will mean one lane reduction in either direction until late October. Harbour Bridge Authority General Manager Ken Anthony tells CHSJ News the impact on traffic is a big issue for commuters but this work will extend the life of the bridge by 40 years.
People can expect delays during rush hour between 7:30 and 8:30am and between 4:30 and 5:30pm.
Motorists can take steps to help with the gridlock including taking the bus, buying a B-pass, carpooling or taking an alternate route. The work is scheduled to wrap up in late October.
