After months of extensive construction, work is close to wrapping up on the Frankford Canal Bridge rehabilitation project.
However, the bridge has reopened to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic following a series of closures in recent months as crews tackled various phases of construction.
“The contractor will work for the next two weeks to complete the final bridge repairs and cleanup,” said the City of Quinte West, in an update. “Access to the bridge will be maintained during this work.”
Work on the rehabilitation project – ultimately aimed at extending the lifespan of the bridge – initially started back in May. The project has focused on concrete patchwork, handrail replacement, expansion joint replacements, substructure concrete patching and repairs, and paving.
The bridge connects the east and west sides of the Trent River in downtown Frankford.
