While no specifics have been given, municipal officials have shut down the walking bridge in downtown Wallaceburg.
A notice from Chatham-Kent’s engineering team says the LO Stonehouse Pedestrian Bridge has been shut down until further notice due to public safety concerns.
It’s not clear at this point how long the bridge across the Sydenham will be closed, or when any repairs will be made.
The bridge was closed for repairs earlier this year as well after someone vandalized the panel box and raised the bridge. No word on whether this latest closure has any connection to that incident.
