Construction will begin soon and wrap up by fall
Lyndhurst Bridge, Ontario’s oldest stone bridge still in use, is set to undergo major masonry repairs. Built in 1856–57, the bridge is the only way to cross Lower Beverley Lake and a key part of the area's history.
After 3–4 years of planning, the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville awarded the contract to Morey Construction Ltd of Harrowsmith. Their bid of $327,750 was the lowest among five submissions.
A 2023 inspection found serious issues, including wide cracks, mortar loss, a loose capstone, and missing stones.
The work will use special masonry techniques to match the bridge’s original appearance.
The bridge is narrow, allowing just one car and one cyclist at a time, raising safety concerns for pedestrians during truck traffic.
Construction will begin soon and wrap up by fall. No road closures are expected. Locals and heritage groups are welcoming the long-awaited repairs.
