The City is replacing the bridge located near the washroom building in Wilket Creek Park and repairing the adjacent retaining wall. These improvements are to ensure the bridge is safe for emergency vehicles. From fall 2026 to spring 2027, the bridge will close for construction and vehicles will not be able to access the park from Leslie Street, beyond the adjacent parking lot. A temporary pedestrian crossing will be constructed near the closed bridge. An emergency access route to the park from Salonica Road will be constructed in spring 2026. Washrooms near the bridge will remain open to the public.
The timeline is subject to change.
The project team is in the process of hiring a design team.
