Remaining Trail Bridges to be Repaired

Trail users should use caution around several trail bridges near Cambridge, Kings Co. The Spidle, Graves and McGee Brook bridges will be removed over the next few weeks for repair.

The Spidle Brook bridge will be removed during the first week of August for replacement, with the Graves and McGee Brook bridges to be removed in the following weeks. As with the Sharpe Brook bridge, which was removed in July, work on abutments will be completed before a new bridge is put in place and opened. Abutment work is expected to take two to five weeks to complete, with the bridge replacement expected to take two to six weeks total.

The four bridges are on an abandoned railway corridor, and were closed in June for safety reasons. Barricades and signs are in place to warn of the closures.

Cornwallis River Pathways Society working with the departments of Natural Resources and Health Promotion and Protection to upgrade this section of the Kings County railway corridor for recreational trails.
