St. Peters Bridge to Close for Replacement

Beginning Wednesday, September 29, the St. Peters Bridge on Route 2 in St. Peters will be closed to traffic as crews work to replace the existing structure.

Once construction begins, the following detour route will be posted:

Traffic heading east on Route 2 will take a right onto Route 313, then left onto Route 312, then left onto Mill Road, then right back onto Route 2. Local business access will be available by taking a left onto Route 2 at the end of Mill Road. Traffic heading west will use the same route in reverse. Access to the Confederation Trail, Visitor Information Centre and retail shops in the area will still be available for motorists and residents on the North side of the bridge.

The $2.2 million project is expected to be completed by February 2011.
