About the Project

Acton Island Bridge Rehabilitation Work Starting May 23rd, 2023

The Acton Island Bridge is about to receive rehabilitation work, starting May 23rd, 2023. The bridge, which has served the community for many decades, requires rehabilitation work to preserve critical structural components and maintain the structure's original service life of 75 years. The project will also include resurfacing and drainage improvements on Muskoka Road 29, which are included in the Bridge Rehabilitation contract.

The majority of the work will be completed under single-lane conditions, with several overnight closures required to complete critical deck work towards the end of the project. But don't worry, the closures will be scheduled to avoid holidays, weekends, and regular commuter traffic, exact timelines are to be determined. Residents and stakeholders will be given at least 10 days' notice before the closures occur. Don't forget EMS access will be maintained throughout construction, including all road closures.

The Acton Island Bridge is a vital part of the community, and the rehabilitation project will ensure that it continues to serve the community for many years to come.

During the spring and summer months, there will be no restrictions to passage, but there will be delays. For most of the project, motorists will experience only slight delays when crossing the Bridge while construction crews work under single lane conditions - you may need to listen to your favourite song for a couple more verses.

We have worked to ensure continued access for the majority of this project - As we work through the repairs and rehabilitation, we will need to repair and resurface the bridge deck near the end of the project – and this will require carefully sequenced full road closures. All closures will be conducted in full coordination with essential services and members of the community.
