Bridge reopening delayed again

Parks Canada announced Fri- day that the Bobcaygeon swing bridge will not reopen this month and it is now aiming for a spring opening. After issues over the mechanical compo- nents, a new consultant was brought in to review and final- ize the design. Re-fabrication of components for the bridge were needed, resulting in the contractor needing to delay completion of the work until the spring. Reconstruction on the bridge structure began in October 2020 and Parks Canada initially put the timeline at a matter of months.
