The bridge was closed down on September 15th after several hundred litres of diesel spilled from a truck.

The waterproof membrane on the bridge began to degrade when it came in contact with the fuel, so a new membrane will be applied on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

The total cost of the repair could be as high as $300,000.

The municipality is in talks with the truck driver’s insurance to see who will be footing the bill.
