Keewatin Channel Bridge Weight Restriction

Please be advised that starting Friday evening, November 21, 2025, and continuing until further notice, the Keewatin Channel Bridge will have a vehicle weight limit due to scaffolding adjustments. 

Vehicles weighing up to 8,500 pounds, including passengers and cargo, may continue to use the bridge via the signalled alternating traffic in the Eastbound lane.

All commercial vehicles weighing over 8,500 pounds must use the Highway 17A Bypass.

Emergency vehicles and buses are permitted to cross the bridge with the flow of regular passenger traffic, although no more than one emergency vehicle or bus may be on the bridge at the same time. When multiple emergency vehicles or buses are crossing, these vehicles shall begin to cross only after the preceding emergency vehicle or bus has passed the high mid-point of the bridge.

Traffic control will include traffic signals, signage, and occasional flaggers. Please follow all posted signs and all directions from workers. Be prepared to stop.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.
