NOTICE: Temporary Evening Closure of the Durham Street Bridge in Walkerton

The Durham Street Bridge in Walkerton will be fully closed from 10 p.m. on Monday, May 19, 2025, until 4 a.m. on Tuesday, May 20.
 

Motorists and pedestrians are asked to use alternate routes, to be patient and drive safely as the contractor works to complete crucial repairs to the bridge.
 

The closure is needed to shift the alternating lanes from the south side of the bridge to the north side.
 

Once the full closure has ended, the bridge will return to alternating traffic with a single lane closure using temporary traffic lights.
 

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we complete this important infrastructure work in Bruce County.
