Spring Maintenance for Trent-Severn Waterway Bridges

Trent Severn Spring

 

This Spring Parks Canada will be conducting spring maintenance at some of the swing bridges and sites along the Trent-Severn Waterway, in preparation for the 2015 navigation season. This includes preventative maintenance tasks like washing and greasing swing bridges, and conducting visual inspections to ensure their safe operability.

Traffic Delays

Seasonal maintenance on certain bridges that cross the Trent-Severn Waterway will not result in closures, but vehicles may experience short delays of about 10 minutes:

April 22 to Mid-May Brighton Road Swing Bridge

Carrying Place Swing Bridge

Glen Ross Swing Bridge

Ranney Falls Swing Bridge (Campbellford)

 

Hastings Swing Bridge

Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge

Bolsover Swing Bridge

Boundary Road Swing Bridge

Lakeshore Road Swing Bridge

Couchiching Bridge

Hamlet Swing Bridge (on Canning Road near Washago)

Port Severn Swing Bridge

Motorists should plan their routes accordingly in order to avoid delays. To accommodate school bus traffic, efforts will be made to keep bridge delays between 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Parks Canada wishes to thank the public for their patience during the maintenance period.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
