The County of Peterborough has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) to study alternatives for the reconstruction of Ward Street in the settlement area of Bridgenorth due to the removal of the Bridgenorth bypass proposal from the County of Peterborough’s Transportation Plan. The project is being planned as a Schedule ‘C’ Class EA in accordance with the MCEA. The study area includes Ward Street (CR18) from Champlain Road to the James Gifford Causeway (CR14).

The objective of the project is to enhance traffic capacity and optimize traffic circulation along the Ward Street (CR18) corridor for the short to medium term horizon. The project will also consider active transportation opportunities in the community and provide space within the corridor for implementation of the Township Community Improvement Plans.

You are invited to the second and final planned Public Information Centre Meeting. The meeting will be a drop-in format with no formal presentation and is scheduled for the following date/time:

Tuesday, October 15, 2024
Bridgenorth Community Hall
836 Charles Street, Bridgenorth
5:00 to 6:30 pm

There is an opportunity at any time during the EA process for interested persons to provide comments. Any comments received pertaining to the study will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

For more information, to provide comments, or to be placed on the study’s mailing list, please contact:
