Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge - Community Update January 2025

Parks Canada is now moving forward with the next stage in this project, which will involve a full road closure at the swing bridge (Bolton Street from 43m north of Canal Street West to Canal Street West) from Monday February 3, 2025 to Wednesday February 12, 2025 to facilitate the permanent installation of these components.

Parks Canada is working closely with the community to ensure that the bridge will be open for Bobcaygeon’s Annual Frost Fest, which is scheduled to take place from Friday February, to Monday February 17.

Following Frost Fest, another short closure may be required to complete the work. The last steps in the project will include the final commissioning of the bridge in the early spring when warmer temperatures allow. 

Parks Canada extends their sincere gratitude to the Bobcaygeon community for their patience and understanding during this time. They 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.
