The bridge on Erb Street over the Nith river just before Nafziger Rd will be closed for 5 months starting mid-April.

This will affect some of our ride planning this summer. The region is suggesting Nafziger, Bleams and Sandhill as the detour route. We should expect to see some increased traffic from on those and neighboring roads this summer as cars route around this closure.

Thankfully they’re not recommending the more obvious Wilby bypass.
