Info-Work: Temporary Bridge Closure

Peterborough, Ontario, March 2 2020 –Parks Canada wishes to advise the public that the Hamlet Fixed and Swing Bridge, along the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site, will be closed to traffic on Wednesday March 4, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. to grout the pivot pier rail. This is located under the bridge itself, which provides support for the balance wheels, as the bridge swings for navigation and traffic.

Parks Canada appreciates the patience from the travelling public and apologizes for the inconvenience of this closure.

The replacement of the Hamlet Fixed and Swing Bridge is part of the Government of Canada’s Federal Infrastructure Investment program. Parks Canada is leading this important infrastructure work to ensure safe, high-quality experiences for visitors by improving heritage, visitor, waterway, and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas, including along the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site.
