SPRING MAINTENANCE FOR TRENT-SEVERN WATERWAY BRIDGES
Apr 18, 2016
In the coming weeks, Parks Canada will be conducting spring maintenance at some of our swing bridges and sites along the Trent-Severn Waterway, in preparation for the 2016 navigation season. This includes preventative maintenance tasks like washing and greasing swing bridges and conducting visual inspections to ensure their safe operability.
Temporary Bridge Closures
Parks Canada would like to advise residents and visitors of the following temporary
bridge closures for regular spring maintenance, weather permitting:
May 3 Warsaw Road Swing Bridge (Peterborough) 9:00 AM – 2:30 PM
May 4 Maria Street Swing Bridge (Peterborough) 9:00 AM – 2:30 PM
May 5 McFarlane Street Bridge (Peterborough) 9:00 AM – 2:30 PM
Traffic Delays
Seasonal maintenance on certain bridges that cross the Trent-Severn Waterway will not
result in closures, but vehicles may experience short delays of about 10 minutes:
April 18 to mid-May Brighton Road Swing Bridge
Carrying Place Swing Bridge
Glen Ross Swing Bridge
Ranney Falls Swing Bridge (Campbellford)
Hastings Swing Bridge
Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge
Bolsover Swing Bridge
Boundary Road Swing Bridge

Motorists are asked to plan their routes accordingly in order to avoid delays. To accommodate school bus traffic, efforts will be made to keep bridge delays between 9:00 am and 2:30 pm. Parks Canada wishes to thank the public for their patience during the maintenance period.
