Bus-lane construction will close Highway 1 bridge lanes overnight

The northbound lanes of the Highway 1 Colquitz River Bridge will be closed overnight on April 16, 2025, to facilitate the ongoing Colquitz River Bridge Widening Project. This important construction initiative aims to create a bus-on-shoulder lane, enhancing transit efficiency in the area. The closure will commence at 8 p. m. and is scheduled to reopen by 5:30 a.

m. on April 17. During the closure, northbound traffic will be redirected to the adjacent southbound bridge, which will operate under single-lane conditions in both directions. This temporary measure is implemented to ensure the safety of both motorists and workers involved in the construction. Drivers are reminded of the reduced speed limit of 50 km/h in the construction zone and are urged to follow the guidance of traffic control personnel.
