Hamilton postpones Linc closure for maintenance, Transport Ministry postpones Burlington Skyway work
The City of Hamilton is postponing maintenance it had planned on the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway this weekend. Now, the Linc will be closed both ways next weekend (May 30 to June 2). The postponement is in-part "to prioritize safety," in light of the weather forecast, the city said in a news release Thursday. Environment Canada is forecasting more rain today and tomorrow with sun on Saturday and Sunday. The city also said it was because the provincial Ministry of Transportation was closing two lanes of the Queen Elizabeth Way highway Niagara-bound at the Burlington Skyway for maintenance this weekend, and rescheduling would help reduce traffic. However, roughly two hours later, the City of Burlington shared a news release saying the ministry is also postponing that work to next weekend. All ramps from the Eastport Drive Collector to the Skyway Bridge will be closed from May 30 at 10 p.m. to June 2 at 5 p.m. CBC Hamilton asked the city if it still plans to do the work next weekend in light of this but did not immediately receive a response. Closures between Golf Links Road and Red Hill Valley Parkway Vehicles won't be allowed on the eastbound side of the Linc beginning at 8 a.m. Friday, May 30, until 5 a.m. Monday, June 2, a news release from the city said. The westbound side will be closed starting at 10 a.m. Friday and will reopen 5 a.m. Monday. The Linc closures will extend from Golf Links and Mohawk Roads to the Red Hill Valley Parkway. The city said drivers can take Mohawk and Stone Church Roads instead. "Residents are encouraged to plan ahead, use alternate routes during this time, and expect delays and increased traffic on surrounding roads," the city said. "Motorists are reminded to follow posted detour signs and take extra caution in construction zones." Maintenance takes place yearly and includes: Resurfacing spots. Repairing asphalt. Removing graffiti. Repairing bridges and signage. Marking pavement. Ditching. Cleaning catch basins. Maintaining vegetation.
