The Lincoln Alexander Parkway will be closed two of the next three weekends.

The city says the closures are needed to complete maintenance.

Work will include spot repairs to the asphalt, some sections of shave-and-pave resurfacing, clearing of catch basins, new reflectors and repairs to some signage.

The Linc will be closed, one direction at a time, for a whole weekend on each side.

Westbound lanes will be closed Aug. 23 at 9:30 p.m. until Aug. 25, 11 p.m.

The vital artery will remain open for Labour Day weekend, then close Sept. 6 at 9:30 p.m. until Sept. 8 at 11 p.m.

The closures will be in effect from the Upper Red Hill Valley Parkway/Mud Street interchange in the east to Mohawk Road in the west. At the west end, access between Hwy. 403 and the Mohawk Road exit will be maintained during both closures.

Weather could affect the schedule. See hamilton.ca/lincmaintenance for the latest details.
