The City of Kenora has announced a vehicle weight restriction on the Keewatin Channel Bridge due to scaffolding adjustments for bridge repairs.
Commerical vehicles weighing OVER 8,500 pounds must use the highway 17A bypass. Emergency vehicles or buses are permitted to cross the bridge with the flow of regular passenger traffic, although no more than one emergency vehicle or bus may be on the bridge at the same time. When multiple emergency vehicles or buses are crossing, these vehicles shall begin to cross only after the preceding emergency vehicle or bus has passed the high mid-point of the bridge.
Traffic control will include traffic signals, signage, and occasional flaggers. You’re asked to follow all posted signs and all directions from workers. Be prepared to stop.
