Kawartha Lakes – The Lake Dalrymple Bridge is at the end of its service life and was identified during the biennial inspection program as in need of replacement. The City of Kawartha Lakes has been advancing the design to replace the Lake Dalrymple bridge.

Project Details

• The existing bridge will be replaced with a new single span concrete deck on girder bridge, eliminating the timber piers within the watercourse.
• The bridge will be closed for the duration of construction and traffic will be detoured
• Local traffic either side of the bridge will be permitted to maintain access to all properties
• The boat launch on Osprey Lane will remain open
• Boat traffic under the bridge will be restricted during certain construction activities for safety
• Construction is planned for Spring to Fall 2025 pending budget approval.

Purpose of Notice

A Public Information Centre has been arranged to provide further information to the members of the public, approval agencies and interested stakeholders on the project. All those with an interest in the project are encouraged to attend. The information session will be a drop-in format where the public can provide feedback on the proposed bridge replacement.
