it's not something Northshore commuters like dealing with but Lions Gate Bridge traffic changes are now in effect daytime driving mostly unchanged but one lane is being closed from Sunday through Thursday starting at 7pm for repairs a second lane closes at 10pm with the entire bridge reopened by 530am the closures are needed for joint and bearing replacement work it's hope the work will take no longer than three weeks ending sometime next month the goal is to make the bridge a smoother more stable ride
