Parks Canada is preparing for the opening of the 2024 boating season on the Trent-Severn Waterway and will be conducting spring maintenance on three swing bridges in Peterborough.
The bridge work includes preventative maintenance tasks like washing and greasing swing bridges, and conducting visual inspections to ensure their safe operation.
The bridges will be temporarily closed from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the following dates: Tuesday, April 30th for the Maria Street Swing Bridge, Wednesday, May 1st for the Warsaw Road Swing Bridge on Parkhill Road East, and Thursday, May 2nd for the McFarlane Street Bridge.
Detour routes will be posted for all closures.
Depending on water flow conditions, navigation season on the Trent-Severn Waterway normally opens for the Victoria Day long weekend and runs until Thanksgiving.
