The Davis Lagoon Bridge on Chemainus Road will be under construction and will alternate between partial and complete closures.
According to the Ministry of Transportation, base repairs and resurfacing will be done to the bridge by Oct. 24, and detours will be set up on North Davis Road and Henry Road.
Town of Ladysmith Deena Beeston says the closure will cause some delays but work on the bridge is needed.
“While the closure of the Davis Lagoon Bridge in any capacity is a major inconvenience to those who frequent that stretch of Chemainus Road, once completed it should significantly improve the safety of the bridge,” she says.
Partial closures are expected from October 6 to 15, while complete closures will be in place from October 16 to 24.
A media release says the Davis Lagoon Bridge is located outside the Town of Ladysmith’s municipal boundaries and isn’t being conducted on behalf of the town.
