NANAIMO — An essential secondary access bridge to the city’s assembly wharf area will be closed during the day this week for maintenance work.
The City said the Wellcox Bridge, the aging wooden trestle bridge extending from the end of Crace St., will be closed from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. from Monday, Sept. 21 until Thursday, Sept. 24 for repairs.
Manager of roads and traffic services with the City David Thompson, said the road closures won’t impact train traffic accessing the wharf, which requires temporary closures of Port. Dr.
“The bridge will be closed each day while we’re doing the work. It’ll be open again at night, and notably, it’ll be open when the railway is unloading their barge. That’ll be Wednesday morning, so just make sure that everybody’s got access to the portlands while we’re doing this work.”
