The City of Quinte West has informed the County of Prince Edward that the Carrying Place swing bridge (operated by Parks Canada) will be temporarily closed for repaving from Monday, November 16 and Tuesday, November 17.
- Although this project does not belong to the County of Prince Edward, residents are being advised as the bridge serves as a main artery in and out of the County.
- During the closure period, all through traffic, including emergency vehicles, will be detoured via the Brighton Road Swing Bridge on County Road 64, located approximately five kilometres to the west of the Carrying Place Swing Bridge.
Northbound traffic will be detoured: west onto County Road 64, north onto Stoney Point Road, east onto Powerline Road, north onto McMaster Road and east onto Highway 2.
Southbound traffic will be detoured: west onto Highway 2, south onto McMaster Road, west onto Powerline Road, south onto Stoney Point Road and east onto County Road 64.
- Heavy equipment will limit visibility in the area and noise levels will be elevated for the duration of the work.
- The municipality understands that road closures can be frustrating and may affect your daily travel plans. Thank you for your patience and understanding as this work is done.
