Is the Victoria street bridge suppose to be closed next year?

Approximately 22,000 vehicles travel on Highway 7 between Kitchener and Guelph every day. This month, new retaining walls are being installed around the Victoria St. and Highway 85 intersection in Kitchener. Necessary construction is also starting underground, ahead of the replacement of the Victoria St. bridge and the building of new ramps that will connect Highway 85 to Highway 7.
These upgrades form part of the Highway 7 expansion project, and will create or sustain approximately 82 jobs in the region. Work is expected to be completed in fall 2017.
...
* One lane of traffic on Victoria St. will be maintained in each direction while two lanes of traffic on the express lanes of Highway 85 will be maintained in each direction at all times during construction.
"
It's not really clear to me exactly what they're talking about, but it feels like this is at least saying there will be two lanes open at all times on Victoria St. until at least Fall 2017.
At one point I thought I heard 2017 was the year for preparing for the Victoria st. bridge to be replaced and 2018 was the year the bridge would actually be replaced. If that's the schedule I think the wellington/shirley route is suppose to be done next year.
