The bridge will reopen to traffic during the day beginning at 7 a.m.

The transport ministry is suggesting drivers plan ahead and take the detour via highway 20.

Necessary repaving work is the reason for closure according to the transport ministry.

The work is also planned for the weekend of Oct. 1.

The originally scheduled full overnight closure of the bridge was called off because of operational constraints the ministry said.
