St. Paul Street West CNR Bridge Closing on November 20

November 17, 2023

On Monday, Nov. 20, 2023, the CNR Bridge on St. Paul Street West will be closed to all vehicular traffic. The bridge is no longer able to safely handle combined traffic and snow load, as such the bridge is closing before the start of winter weather. The removal of the bridge is expected to begin in the spring of 2024.

The planned detour route for vehicles is:

Westbound

• St. Paul Street West to Pelham Road
• Pelham Road to Louth Street (Regional Road 72)
• Louth Street to St. Paul Street West

Eastbound

• St. Paul Street West to Louth Street
• Louth Street to Pelham Road (Regional Road 69)
• Pelham Road to St. Paul Street West

All businesses on St. Paul Street West will remain open and accessible during the closure. The bridge will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists until it is removed.
