The Buckwold Bridge will be getting a facelift through some of the spring and summer months.
This will close off any eastbound traffic during this period, but Director Of City Works Mike VanAlstyne says it is a well-needed reno.
"The bridge is 50 years old and it's never had any serious maintenance work done on it so it's time for a new surface. The contractor will be replacing the deck one half at a time keeping westbound traffic open."
This nearly 1.1 million dollar project is expected to last until mid-June unless there are unforeseen complications.
Westbound traffic of vehicles no wider than 3 meters and pedestrian traffic will still be allowed during construction.
While planning a new route from these bridge repairs might be a pain, we'll get over it soon enough!
