Current Road Closures
Long Swamp Road Bridge |
| On September 18, 2020 at 1:00 pm, the Township closed the Long Swamp Rd Bridge until further notice.
This closure is the result of safety concerns surrounding Long Swamp Rd Bridge. Township Staff is in the process of undertaking a structural assessment of the bridge to determine what, if any, remedial work is required. Due to the bridge closure, the Township closed Long Swamp Rd from Bellrock Rd to just south of the Long Swamp Bridge. This closure will not affect access to homes in the area, which can continue to be accessed by Long Swamp Road from the South via German Rd or Huffman Rd. Access to Bellrock Rd can be obtained via Road 38 in Verona. For more information, please contact our Public Services Department at 613-376-3027 ext. 4331. |
Hinchinbrooke Road Now Open to Two-Way Traffic |
|
Following the partial closure of Hinchinbrooke Rd back in July, South Frontenac staff have been working in conjunction with a geotechnical engineer to safely reopen the road before winter. While addition culvert work will take place in the spring, Hinchinbrooke Rd will reopen to two-way traffic effective October 29, 2021 at Noon.
“I have been advising residents that Hinchinbrooke Rd would have partial access restored by the end of October - so the fact that there will be two-way traffic flow feels like an unexpected bonus,” said Mayor Ron Vandewal. “I want to pass on Council’s appreciation to the Public Services department and everyone who worked tirelessly the past few months to make this reopening a reality.”
Following recommendations from a geotechnical engineering review, Township staff carried out grading adjustments within the work zone and added safety features in preparation for the reopening of Hinchinbrooke Road. Additional temporary traffic control signage have been put in place to help communicate lane restrictions and safety parameters to those using the road.
Residents are reminded to obey traffic controls when using the temporary narrowed lanes on Hinchinbrooke Road at Spring Lake this winter season. Additional questions or concerns can be directed to Troy Dunlop, Manager of Technical Services and Infrastructure at 613-376-3027 ext.3333 or via email to pwsupport@southfrontenac.net.

In order to ensure the safety of residents and visitors, and as part of Parks Canada’s maintenance operations, all Rideau Canal bridges are inspected every year, with a comprehensive inspection taking place every five years. Further assessments on the condition of the bridge indicated that the bridge must be closed immediately for public safety until a replacement of the bridge can occur. Design work for the Lower Brewers Swing Bridge is currently underway and the bridge has been designated for replacement beginning in late 2021. What to expect:
The future replacement of the Lower Brewers Swing Bridge is part of the Government of Canada’s Federal Infrastructure Investment program.
