The viaduct will be transformed into a red carpet walk that will be used for the final event of the 47th annual Juno Awards on Sunday, March 25 hosted by Michael Bublé at the Rogers Arena.
The last time the viaduct was shut down was in 2015 for the filming of an action scene for Ryan Reynold's "Deadpool" movie.
