Lanark County is closing Blakeney Bridge in Mississippi Mills all of next week (Jan 23) to accommodate drilling required for the foundation design of the new bridge.
The bridge consists of three structures crossing the Mississippi River between Almonte and Pakenham and is located on Blakeney Road just west of Blakeney. Travelers can bypass the bridge by detouring north through Pakenham to Kinburn Side Road or south through Almonte to Martin Street North.
The bridge will be closed from 8am until 5pm.
Public Works manager Sean Derouin apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the closure, but said this work is a key step to the next stages of the bridge replacement.
