Starting June 4 and lasting until October, it’s going to be complicated crossing the Mississippi River in Almonte.
This note has been sent to local residents:
Please be advised that National Structures 2011 INC. has been awarded the contract for the rehabilitation of the Back and Short Bridges for the Municipality of Mississippi Mills.
As a result, the Back Bridge will be closed to all traffic on June 4, and will reopen approximately on August 23.
