Wallaceburg’s walking bridge is set to be closed for repairs on Friday.
The L.O. Stonehouse Memorial Walk Bridge will have a cable repaired on Friday, June 3 and will be fully closed from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m.
The bridge recently underwent a major overhaul, after a service review by the municipality in 2013 listed the bridge as one of many that were to be shut down.
The community rallied together when this news spread.
Petitions were created, signatures gathered and people came forward in support of keeping the bridge in the community.
McLean Taylor Construction Ltd. was awarded the tender for the walking bridge project for $540,419.07.
The project wrapped up in June of 2015.
