LaSalle Causeway bridge remains closed for weeks; reopening for marine operations by May 1 not feasible.

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) has provided an update on the LaSalle Causeway closure. The bridge will remain closed for several weeks, and reopening for marine operations by May 1, the start of the marine season, is not feasible. Initial inspections have been conducted, and specialized equipment has stabilized the structure. A complex repair solution is required for the compromised diagonal element. PSPC is exploring options to allow pedestrians to use the bridge during the repair process.
