The closures begin this Saturday (April 27), and are the latest phase in the Lower Lynn Improvement Project, which is meant to ease traffic congestion on the North Shore.

According to the provincial government, the closures are necessary to allow for the demolition of the Old Mountain Highway Overpass, as part of the project.

The closures will affect the highway in both directions, between the Lynn Valley and Fern Street exits. Road maintenance vehicles will be actively working on this route, and detour routes will be in effect.

“Nearby residents may be affected by noise caused by demolition equipment,” the ministry said. They added that “every effort” is being made “to complete this work as quickly and safely as possible to minimize disturbances to the community.”

The following dates and times are scheduled for night work:

  • April 27‐28, 2019 — 11 pm  to 5 am
  • May 3‐5, 2019 — 11 pm to 5 am

Up-to-date information regarding the nightly closures can be found online.
