'During the closure, crews will complete essential maintenance activities, remove cable inspection platforms, and—after an extended closure—reconnect the Princess Margaret Boulevard ramps,' reads a news release from HHB.
The ramps will be fully accessible when the bridge reopens at 5:30 a.m. Monday.
The speed limit for the entire bridge will also be 70 km/h starting Monday, and HHB says enforcement measures will be in effect.
The Angus L. Macdonald Bridge will remain open during the MacKay closure.
Motorists are being reminded that all vehicles over 3,200 kg, except passenger buses, are prohibited on the Macdonald.
Traffic delays are expected.
