The road is set to reopen in spring of 2023 when the new bridge is expected to be complete.

The City says Thames Park will remain open and access will be maintained during the project.

A temporary bridge for cyclists and pedestrians has been installed across the Thames River and will be open to the public on Monday.

The City says the Victoria Bridge Reconstruction Project will replace the current bridge, which was built in 1926.

The new bridge will have a “through arch” structure that includes a widened deck surface to better accommodate bicycle traffic, pedestrians and improved connectivity with the Thames Valley Parkway.
