The construction of a new bridge on Anne Street in Barrie, Ont., will begin this Saturday and is expected to take 18 months.
Officials said the construction will require the closure of Anne Street from Edgehill Drive to Donald Street, and that the existing bridge will be demolished overnight on June 5.
Starting Saturday morning, a new Barrie Transit shuttle will be offered at a stop on either side of the bridge.
