Another bridge closed in Mapleton as busy construction season continues
Another bridge in the township has been closed for construction.
The county has closed Wellington Road 11 from Concession Road 14 south to Wellington Road 7. The closure began July 18 and will extend until October.
Wellington County construction manager Mark Eby said the closure is necessary to complete repairs to culvert C111020 and the road in the vicinity.
“All residences and businesses will be open and accessible throughout the closure,” stated Eby in an email.
“Concession Road 14 north on Wellington Road 11 will be open for first stage of the work (culvert repairs and retaining wall installation). The road will be completely closed to through traffic from the top of the hill to Concession Road 14.
“Once the contractor is ready to complete the paving work, Concession Road 14 will be closed to through traffic and the closure on Wellington Road 11 will extend to the 14th Line.”
The Main Street bridge in Drayton is also closed for construction this summer. Construction also continues on the Conestogo bridge at Wallenstein on Line 86.
“It’s going to limit the ways you can get in and out of Drayton and Moorefield,” said Mayor Neil Driscoll as he advised Mapleton council of the latest closure at the July 12 meeting.
