The Teeswater River Bridge replacement project, located on Bruce Road 3 in Paisley, Ontario, began in May 2022 and continues to successfully progress on schedule. Motorists can continue to drive to, and through, Paisley while bridge construction is underway. Paisley businesses are open.
The existing bridge location will remain closed to September 2023 during construction. The project started in May with the construction of a temporary bridge that will connect Goldie Street and Church Street, over the Saugeen River, and serve as the connecting detour for motorists and pedestrians in Paisley.
Semi-trucks, tractor trailers, and agricultural equipment are to avoid crossing at the bridge in Paisley during the construction period due to the tight turns of the in-town detour. Businesses using large trucks for shipments and deliveries are encouraged to make alternative route plans to avoid the in-town detour.
