Public Advisory: Repair Work to Begin on the Placentia Lift Bridge

The Department of Transportation and Works is advising that the Placentia Lift Bridge will be closed from Monday, October 6, until Friday, October 10. Vehicular traffic will be detoured to Southeast Placentia Road.

This closure is required to facilitate repair and maintenance work on the bridge. This is the start of the Placentia Lift Bridge repair project which will take approximately six weeks to complete, making the bridge fully operational.

Construction continues on the new $40.6 million lift bridge in Placentia which is scheduled to be completed in 2016.

The Department of Transportation and Works thanks residents for their patience and cooperation.
