There has been a change of plans for planned construction along the bridges into Portage-du-Fort.
Officials with Quebec’s Ministry of Transportation say the first phase of structural repairs at the Chenaux Dam has been completed. However, the remainder of the project, which was expected to be completed by November 25, have been extended until December 14 before resuming in the spring.
Crews will perform temporary paving on the road between November 10 and 11.
Truck traffic restrictions have been lifted earlier than planned, although restrictions on other heavy traffic are still in place.
Overnight bridge closures have also been suspended, with alternating single-lane traffic continuing until the project shuts down for the winter.
