Notice

The Durham Street Bridge sits on Bruce Road 4 at the east end of the town of Walkerton and spans the River Saugeen. Given that Bruce Road 4 between Walkerton and Hanover is Bruce County's highest traffic route, this bridge is considered a critical asset to the County. 

The Durham Street Bridge in Walkerton was constructed in 1937 -it has been in place for 85 years. According to the current bridge code, the service life for a bridge in Canada is 75 years. This structure was overdue for replacement or rehabilitation.

Environmental Assessment (EA) work commenced in 2021 and will take place for a total of 4 years with completion of EA in 2024. Public Consultation took place in 2023. Bridge construction is currently underway.
