In August 2025, motorists in Burlington, ON, can expect a closure on the QEW Niagara directional lanes of the Burlington Bay Skyway bridges. This closure is a part of the rehabilitation work being undertaken by the Niagara Region Highway 407 East P3 Partnership, in conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation.

The scheduled closure is weather dependent and will take place from 10:00pm on Friday, August 22, until 5:00am on Monday, August 25. During this period, traffic moving in the Eastbound direction (Niagara Bound) on the QEW will be affected.
