Port Bruce temporary bridge opening Monday, Aug. 20

August 14, 2018 | 3

A temporary bridge reconnecting Port Bruce south of Catfish Creek with the rest of Malahide Township will open to the public at the end of Monday afternoon, Aug. 20.

Elgin Administrator Julie Gonyou made the announcement at a county council meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 14, in part, she said, to counter social media rumours the crossing would open Wednesday, Aug. 15.

The Monday opening will come two days too late for the 400 to 500 bicyclists in the annual 3 Port Tour of the area this Saturday, Aug. 18, who usually lunch in Wonnacott Park adjacent to the Port Bruce harbour.

Instead, they’ll take their meal break at Rush Creek Wines on Jamestown Line west of Imperial Road.

    Its a shame Elgin County Council could not accomodate the 3 Port Tour cyclists and there families this weekend and let them ride over the bridge. We love to have them come to our little village each summer.
    The businesses in Port Bruce could have used some extra income to make up for their losses with no bridge this summer.
