My wife forward me this: [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/west-montrose-covered-kissing-bridge-closure-drilling-work-1.6926766](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/west-montrose-covered-kissing-bridge-closure-drilling-work-1.6926766)

Showing the bridge is closed for maintenance as of Tuesday for two weeks. Anyone been that way and see if we can still cross it or if it is just closed to motor vehicles?

They are doing various drilling assessments so I’m guessing it’s completely closed. The region says traffic rather than car traffic so I interpret that as being anyone.

Hi everyone, I checked yesterday and as mentioned by Bikedawn, it is completely closed off to all traffic.
