Update on 5-Arches Bridge Work

Lanark County Public Works reports masons have nearly completed the installation of the wall stones and work is currently underway on the cap stones. Construction of the approaches to the bridge, including grading, drainage improvements and electrical work, ...is scheduled to begin next week.

A full closure of the public park is anticipated in approximately two weeks for one day to facilitate the installation of an electrical conduit beneath the park entrance. Advance notice will be provided to the public and digital signage will be installed to communicate the closure ahead of time.

The project completion date of November remains unchanged; however, Public Works remains confident the project can be completed ahead of schedule, weather permitting.
