The LO Stonehouse walking bridge in downtown Wallaceburg is in need of some repairs as navigation season begins.
The Municipality of Chatham-Kent said the bridge’s lift span is currently not operable for the passage of larger boats.
The contractor responsible for rehabilitating the walking bridge more than a year ago will now be returning to repair the lift mechanism ahead of the summer.
The bridge will remain open for pedestrian traffic but will be closed intermittently for short durations while repairs are made. The span is expected to be fully operational by mid-June.
The other moveable bridges in Wallaceburg will be operational starting this week.
