The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to advise residents that Arnott Construction has been awarded the construction tender for the Town’s 2026 Bridge and Culvert Rehabilitation works.
The Bridge and Culvert Rehabilitation program is a multi-year effort to repair deficiencies and extend the lifespans of a number of critical, Town-owned structures. A total of seven bridges and culverts have been identified for rehabilitation in 2026. Structures have been prioritized based on existing condition assessments and the scope of work required. Three of the seven sites will require full closures while the work is being completed, while the remaining sites will only require alternating single-lane restrictions.
The contractor has prepared a preliminary schedule which would see all the work completed between June 1 and September 29, pending weather and conditions. Work is planned to be staggered so that only one structure is impacted at a time.
| Structure | Traffic Impacts | Estimated Construction |
|---|---|---|
| 1. 10th Line Culvert (C202) | Alternating single-lane closures | June 1-5, 2026 |
| 2. Slabtown Bridge (B15) | Alternating single-lane closures | June 8-24, 2026 |
| 3. Red Wing Bridge (B7) | Temporary full closure | June 25 to July 23, 2026 |
| 4. 6th Line Bridge (B8) | Temporary full closure | July 24 to August 14, 2026 |
| 5. 12th Sideroad Bridge (B7) | Alternating single-lane closures | August 17-28, 2026 |
| 6. Victoria Corners Bridge (B12) | Alternating single-lane closures | August 31 to September 14, 2026 |
| 7. 11th Line Bridge (B19) | Temporary full closure | September 15-29, 2026 |
The Town has published a dedicated project web page where updates will be posted as work progresses. Individual email lists have also been created for those with interest in the Red Wing Bridge, 6th Line Bridge and 11th Line Bridge. Any members of the public with specific interest in these sites are encouraged to subscribe to receive updates regarding the schedule and ongoing work on these three structures.
