The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to advise residents that the Thornbury Pier Resurfacing Project has been delayed following public health guidance and in response to the required measures to be taken related to COVID-19.
On Tuesday, April 20, the Town was informed by Brook Restoration Ltd. that the crew working on the project have been identified as close contacts to an individual that tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, and in accordance with public health protocols, the construction site has been temporarily shut down.
The Town has confirmed that the contractors worked exclusively within the fenced construction site and it is believed they did not have any interactions outside their crew. In the event of a close contact within the community, only those contacted by the Grey Bruce Public Health Unit would need to take any additional steps, including asymptomatic testing.
“The health and safety of both the workplace and the community continue to be the top priority for the Town,” explained Director of Community Services, Ryan Gibbons. “The Town would like to extend our best wishes to all of those impacted.”
Construction at the Thornbury Pier began on March 12, 2021 with project completion scheduled for May 31, 2021. As a result of this unfortunate situation, project completion may be delayed. Additional information will be provided on the project webpage on the Town website: https://www.thebluemountains.ca/thornbury-pier.cfm
