Bridge reopens

It took longer than expected, but the Heywood-Armstrong Bridge is now open.

Officially called the Morgan Bridge by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the bridge was washed away by the spring flooding in 2017.

Work in the bridge was supposed to be complete by Dec. 22, but the ministry said unforeseen challenges delayed the reopening until this week.

News the bridge has reopened was met by a chorus of cheers on Facebook from area residents.
