Bridge Closure Information Tonight

People worried about the effect of a summer-long closure and rehabilitation of the busiest bridge in Chatham-Kent can get more information tonight.

Director of Engineering Adam Sullo is hoping an open house will draw a lot of people who use the Parry Bridge on Keil Dr.

The open house is at the Civic Centre atrium from 5pm-8pm tonight.

The work will start next month with some lane closures and the bridge will be fully closed from early June to September.

The bridge has had weight restrictions and undergone several rounds of work over the past few years, but Sullo says after this it shouldn't need any other work for a number of years.
