Parks Canada will be closing the McFarlane Street Bridge in Peterborough for redecking during the second week of October.
The single-lane bridge across the Trent Canal connects Armour Road in East City with Ashburnham Drive.
According to a media release from Parks Canada, the bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic, cyclists, and pedestrians from 7 a.m. on Monday, October 6 until 7 p.m. on Friday, October 10.
Detour signage will be posted a week in advance if the closure.
The McFarlane Street Bridge is one of only five access points into East City. Other access points are Armour Road via Parkhill Road East to the north, Hunter Street East from the east via the Lift Lock tunnel off Ashburnham Drive or from the west via the Hunter Street bridge, and Maria Street off Ashburnham Drive to the south.
Navigation on the Trent Canal will remain unaffected by the bridge closure.
“Parks Canada would like to thank community members and visitors for their patience and understanding,” reads the media release.
