Notice 8 - Queen Street Bridge Update: Bell's Restoration on Queen Street
Bell has informed the Town that their contractor will be remobilizing back to Queen Street and Concession Street as early as the week of August 26, 2024, to start restoration work. It is anticipated this work will take 2 weeks to complete. The restoration work includes restoring of sidewalk and curbs and the repaving of the intersection of Queen Street and Concession Street.
It is anticipated there will be minor and intermittent traffic delays along Queen Street to allow the contractor to complete their work within the intersection.
The 10-tonne load restriction on the Queen Bridge over the Metrolinx tracks is still in effect.
The look-ahead schedule for the Queen Street bridge replacement project is as follows:
- Now until December 2024 – Bell to complete utility work, which involves cable placement and splicing of wires on Queen Street. This is low-impact work, and there will be minimal construction impact to traffic on Queen Street during this time.
- Fall 2024 - The Town will be hosting a Public Information Centre for the Queen Street Bridge Replacement Project, which will provide residents and businesses with a better understanding of the schedule and impacts of the project. We will be working with all parties to ensure minimal disruption.
- Spring 2025 –The Town will begin construction on replacing the Queen Street bridge over the train tracks. The bridge will have to remain closed during this work. The work is expected to be completed by Spring 2026.
