Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site
April 13, 2018 – Parks Canada has been hard at work undertaking repairs to Glen Ross Lock 7 and Swing Bridge. Since project initiation this past fall, significant progress has been made on the rehabilitation of the lock concrete and bridge steel. The lock rehabilitation is on track to complete prior to navigation season, while repairs to the swing bridge are now anticipated to continue into early July.
Off site, the centre pivot bearing, span drive cylinders, and end lift cylinders are being fabricated. These components are machined to precise dimensions and require a significant amount of coordination with additional parts - a time consuming process. Once the bridge components are delivered in May, the contractor will work to install the bridge as efficiently as possible. Further information will be provided on the road reopening date, as the rehabilitated bridge is reinstalled.
Parks Canada would like to thank the community for their continued patience as we complete this important infrastructure project. These historic investments will mitigate health and safety risks, halt the loss of nationally significant built heritage and stimulate the economy in communities across the country.
