Bridge Repair Work Delayed The Minister for Infrastructure, Barry Smeltz, announced today that work on the Norwell Bridge will not start until March 18. The repair work was originally scheduled for December. However, the minister said that the construction contractor advised him that severe winter weather would make the work extremely difficult. Instead, the contractor suggested that it would be better to wait for icy and snowy conditions of mid-winter to pass before beginning the work. Once commenced, the repair work is expected to take around 6 weeks. For residents of the Norwell region, the delay means that they will need to keep using the back roads rather than going across the bridge. The minister promised that additional efforts will be made to clear these back roads of snow and ice during winter so that residents can continue to travel in and out of the region safely and easily.
