TransCanada Trail Bridge Bird Netting Repair

From the Office of the Ward Councillor...

The permanent repair to the TransCanada Trail Bridge (over Robertson Rd as you go from Bells Corners to Kanata) bird netting will begin next week. The contractor will also complete minor warranty work during this time. We anticipate a few days of single lane reductions on Robertson Road in order to complete the work.

There will be no eastbound lane reductions during the AM peak period and no westbound lane reductions during the PM peak period. The bridge will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists at all times. We anticipate that the work will be complete by October 2nd, weather permitting.
