The swing bridges in Bobcaygeon and Bolsover remain closed as reconstruction projects continue. In Boslover, the project has been halted twice due to contractor or bid issues.
Forty-five minutes northwest in Bolsover, the Boundary Road swing bridge near TSW Lock 37 has been closed and removed since January 2021. The closure removed access to the village via Simcoe Street.
Then a second construction shutdown occurred in November 2022 following “limited response” on contractor bids, including one bid that was “exceeding available project funding,” according to Parks Canada.“That’s where we are at and the project remains on hold as we consider our options moving forward,” she said.That’s not sitting well with some residents, including June Wilson, who lives across from the waterway.
Resident Robert Amour says the bridge is the primary artery for the community and its businesses and first responders. He says the delays have dragged on too long.
