Bruce County says repairs to a local bridge will get underway soon.
In a release on the Bruce County website, the county says that “repairs to the Willow Creek Bridge on the Bruce County Rail Trail near Paisley will commence this summer. The Willow Creek Bridge sustained heavy fire damage in the Spring of 2021, which closed the rail trail between Victoria Street in Paisley and the Bruce-Greenock North Road. Repairs to the bridge’s beams, railings, and decking are scheduled to begin this summer with a completion date by October 2022.”
Funding for the repairs to the Willow Creek Bridge is coming from the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund and the support of County Council. As construction gets underway, the County will continue to provide updates on the project and reopening timelines. The Bruce County Rail Trail detour remains in place.
