Work to replace a water main and resurface the Concession Street bridge is close to completion.

Work to complete a watermain installation on the Concession Street bridge will force its closure overnight tonight after rain delayed a planned closure last Friday.

The new watermain replaces an old watermain on the north side of the bridge that was damaged by ice during 2018 flooding on the Grand River.

The closure will happen between Water Street South and Grand Avenue starting at 8 p.m. Oct. 16 and lasting until 5 tomorrow morning.

A full closure of Concession Street Bridge in Cambridge is required to facilitate overnight asphalt paving following successful completion of the watermain installation.

A daytime closure is not feasible due to the high volume of traffic using the bridge.

The region advises motorists to plan accordingly and use an alternate route.
