Ontario Construction News staff writer

The main bridge in Grand Bend will be replaced with construction starting next month.

Lambton Shores received $5 million from the Ontario government for the rehabilitation and widening of the Ontario Street Bridge in Grand Bend.

Improvements to the Ontario Street North corridor were identified through the Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment, which determined that the current intersection and traffic signalization was insufficient to handle the traffic volumes that occur during peak periods.

Phase two of construction is scheduled to begin September and take two years to complete, pausing during summer seasons.
