Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge - Community Update April 2025

Kawartha Lakes - In November 2024, Parks Canada started the permanent end lift installations at the Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge, which supports normal bridge swing operations.

Over the coming weeks, Parks Canada maintenance crews will be testing and commissioning these new components in preparation for the opening of the 2025 navigation season.

While workers are on site and components are being tested, intermittent closures may be experienced. These intermittent closures will be timed to minimize impacts on the community. When closures of over one (1) hour in duration are planned, a notification will be emailed 24 hours prior to the disruption. For more information on this project, visit the Trent-Severn Waterway website.

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

Parks Canada is leading this important infrastructure work to ensure safe navigation and transportation routes by improving 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.
