A Winnipeg bridge will remain closed longer than originally planned, according to the city. The Louise Bridge shut down on Friday and was expected to open yesterday. However, the bridge is still closed, and information on the city’s website notes it will stay closed until June 1. A spokesperson for the city said during a bridge inspection crews found “some accelerated corrosion.” “We are inspecting additional locations this week and developing a plan to repair the affected areas. Repairs to signals at the south end of the bridge are also underway and will be completed this week during the bridge closure,” they said. The closure impacts both directions of the bridge as well as the west and east side sidewalks.
