Drivers will not be able to access a bridge connecting Point Douglas and Elmwood starting on Saturday.

The Louise Bridge will be closed from Saturday at 6 a.m. to Monday at 6 a.m. for maintenance. 

"Motorists are advised to use an alternate route and to plan for additional travel time to reach their destinations," the City of Winnipeg says in a statement.

The east sidewalk will remain open for foot traffic.
