Temporary Bridge to be Installed in Marystown

A new temporary bridge will be installed in Marystown while work continues on replacing the Marystown Harbour Bridge, known locally as Canning Bridge.

A portable, pre-fabricated panel bridge will be installed to provide direct access for local traffic and maintain emergency vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

The design work, as well as the permitting process with Transport Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to allow for the temporary structure over the waterway, will get underway this winter. Once the permitting process is complete, it is estimated that it will take approximately six months to construct the temporary bridge.

At the same time, work on the permanent replacement of the Canning Bridge will continue.
