About the Project

Acton Island Bridge Rehabilitation Work

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.

SCHEDULED: Two Overnight Full Road/Bridge Closures

• Monday, November 13th, and
• Tuesday, November 14th.

We know you've been waiting! We've been emphasizing for a couple of weeks that these closures require good weather, to achieve the final, reliable product we're after.

 Crews are preparing to close the road overnight for Monday and Tuesday, to accommodate the final bridgework and paving on the Acton Island Bridge.

 
⚠️ Acton Island Bridge will be fully closed:

• Monday, November 13, 2023: 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
• Tuesday, November 14, 2023: 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.

Please note that there will be no access across the bridge during overnight work.

 The project team is working closely with Emergency Services partners to ensure there are no delays overnight if you need help. Signage on-site has been updated and crews are working hard to prepare the bridge deck for overnight work.

 By the end of the week, our Acton Island community will enjoy a safe and revitalized structure that connects our communities, complete with a smooth driving surface.

 These closures represent the final part of the project, after these are over - we'll be packing up. Thanks again for your patience. Our crews appreciate your waves of support, smiles and kind gestures - we're almost done!
