The City of Winnipeg said the Arlington Bridge will temporarily close for maintenance and an inspection this weekend.

The closure will take effect at 6 a.m. on Oct. 24 and will last through to 6 a.m. on Oct. 26.

“The overpass is being closed for inspection and minor maintenance that cannot be undertaken with vehicular traffic on the overpass,” said the city.

“Motorists are reminded to allow additional travel time. Alternate routes include McPhillips Street to the west and Salter Street to the east.”

The east sidewalk will remain open over the weekend for pedestrian access.
