The city has announced that the covered bridge will be closed to cyclists and pedestrians for a "special project."
The closure runs from Sept. 28 until Oct. 9 for a "special community and tourism revitalization project to be announced at a later date," said a city press release.
Access to the bridge from the Boathouse on the west end and York Road Park on the east end of the bridge will be impacted from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.
In addition, the bridge will be closed in the evenings on Oct. 6 and 7.
During closure times, pedestrians and cyclists using the Royal Recreation Trail/Eramosa River Trail from either side should detour northeast via York Road, west on Wellington Street West and south on Gordon Street to reconnect across the river.
