The Confederation Bridge that connects Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick will be closed to all traffic, except for emergency vehicles, on May 13, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., to allow for the pour and setting of concrete associated with the replacement of an expansion joint, according to a news release from Strait Crossing Bridge Limited.

“We are pleased to report that work, which began on April 24, is progressing as planned and to note that we are now tentatively scheduling the second and final full closure for June 3, also from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and with the work zone ending on June 16,” said Alexis Reynaud, deputy general manager.

“We will be in the area conducting patrols during the full closure and at this time we remind all travelers to plan ahead and avoid disappointment this coming Saturday evening and night,” said RCMP staff sergeant Neil Logan.
