The City of Winnipeg asks motorists to reroute their trips this weekend if they're trying to cross Louise Bridge.

In a release, the City says, "The northbound and southbound directions of travel on the Louise Bridge between Sutherland Avenue and Nairn Avenue will be temporarily closed from 6 a.m. this Saturday, July 6 until 6 a.m. on Monday, July 8, for bridge bearing maintenance and sidewalk repair."

The bridge will still be accessible to pedestrians as the east sidewalk will remain open.

The City says, "Motorists are advised to use an alternate route and to plan for additional travel time to reach their destinations."
