Section of Tay Havelock Trail to be closed for bridge repairs

Sections of the Tay Havelock trail will be closed beginning Tuesday, Nov. 19 to facilitate deck replacements on three existing steel bridges on the trail.

“Lanark County has retained DW Building Restoration Services to replace the steel bridge decks at three locations on the Tay Havelock trail,” said Public Works Manager Sean Derouin. “This maintenance is an important step in maintaining the safety, durability and accessibility of the trail.”

There is no feasible detour for the first deck replacement, located west of Cameron Side Road. Ongoing closures will be in effect for about one to two weeks at each location while the work is completed. Updated signage will provide information about future detour routes, where possible, east of Cameron Side Road.

Popular with ATV users, this multi-use 25-km stretch within Lanark County along abandoned rail bed can be accessed south of Hwy. 7 at Glen Tay. There are multiple access points as it links with many other legs of the Trans Canada Trail for a journey through gorgeous countryside.
