Beaver River Bridge opens to traffic

The Beaver River Bridge is now open. The Regional Municipality of Durham has temporarily replaced the Beaver River Bridge while a permanent replacement is designed and constructed.

The Beaver River Bridge connects Regional Road 15 over the Beaver River, in the Township of Brock. The bridge was closed in November 2023. This temporary bridge has the capacity to support full traffic loads. The structure has been placed with the plan to construct the north portion of the permanent bridge while traffic remains on the temporary bridge. Traffic will then be moved to the permanent bridge and the temporary bridge will be removed, allowing for the remainder of the permanent bridge to be constructed.

The completion date of the permanent bridge is anticipated to be in 2027. Funding for both the temporary and permanent structures is being provided by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation while support from the Township of Brock was key to keeping the project moving quickly.
