Update! CP Rail Bridge Construction
Construction of the pedestrian bridge beside the CP Rail Bridge is progressing reasonably well considering the high water levels. The pre-manufactured part of the bridge is scheduled to be in place in a few weeks. Bridge rehabilitation on the rail side of the bridge will continue for a while after that, which will necessitate that the bridge will be closed from time to time until mid-summer.
