Smiths Falls Director of Public Works Paul McMunn was the bearer of bad news for those hoping to use the new Confederation Bridge this winter.
McMunn said Structurecraft and their sub-contractors aren’t able to complete the remaining cosmetic tasks, particularly the laying of asphalt, leaving the bridge with a granular base.
Leaving it as-is and open to the public brings liability risks to the town, he said.
McMunn said there was a combination of supply chain issues and colder weather which played factors into the delay.
