The MacKay Bridge will be closed to all traffic Sunday, September 15 from 5am until 10pm. ​

Work to inspect the main cable of the MacKay Bridge is complete and the inspection platform at the top of the main​ cable has to be removed. Its removal requires using​ several large cranes and the​ full width of the bridge. As a result it can’t safely be done with​ traffic on the bridge.
