Project to replace 110-year-old bridge moves on to property acquisition, right-of-way designation, and design

The project to replace the 110-year-old Manitoulin Island swing bridge that began in 2017 has taken another step forward.

“The Town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands is very pleased that the Ontario government is focused on moving this project forward,” said Mayor Alan MacNevin. “While the current bridge represents our connection to our past, the new bridge will represent our connection to the future by enhancing traffic flow and supporting growth and development on the Island.”

Though revered for its aesthetics and its heritage, as the bridge has aged, its maintenance requirements have become frequent and costly, and the MTO identified in 2017 that it would eventually need replacing.
