Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge To Close From February 3 to February 12

KAWARTHA LAKES- Parks Canada says that work is beginning on the installation of the permanent end lifts for the Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge in February. Officials say these vertical end lifts are critical in ensuring the bridge seals tightly to the abutments during swings.

The next stage in this project will involve a full road closure from Monday, February 3, to Wednesday, February 12th, to facilitate the permanent installation of these components.

“We are working closely with the community to ensure that the bridge will be open for Bobcaygeon’s Annual Frost Fest, which is scheduled to take place from Friday, February 14th, to Monday, February 17th.” said Parks Canada.

Following Frost Fest, another short closure may be required to complete the work. The last steps in the project will include the final commissioning of the bridge in the early spring when warmer temperatures allow.

“We extend our sincere gratitude to the Bobcaygeon community for their patience and understanding during this time. We remain committed to minimizing disruptions while ensuring the safety and functionality of this vital transportation link.” continued Parks Canada.
