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. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is delivering this project on the City’s behalf, with work proceeding in two phases.
In Phase 1, an emergency access route will be constructed to the park from Salonica Road. This route will also be used by maintenance and construction vehicles during the bridge replacement.
In Phase 2, 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. Washrooms near the bridge will remain open to the public.
The timeline is subject to change.
