PLANNED closures of the Lions

Gate Bridge are tentatively slated to
begin the weekend of May 12.

-The bridge will shut down on Friday, May
12 at 10 p.m. and remain closed until Monday,
May 15 at 6 am., when the span will re-open
for. morning commuters. ;
During that time, traffic will be re-routed to
the Second Narrows Bridge and SeaBus.
The closures are part of the $100-million

joint project renovation of the bridge deck sur-
face by American Bridge and Surespan.

The first weekend shutdown will also herald
the beginning of regular nightly closures of the
bridge from 8 p.m. unul 6 a.m.

However, BCTEA director of communica-
tions and pabtic affairs John Doyle said that no
firm schedule for those shutdowns has yet been
determined. “We'll make sure all the machin-
ery is working, properly and everything is run-
ning smoothly and then we'll take it from
there.” he said.

Ac least two more weekend-long ciosures
are platined for the summer months.
